66 Kaspersky Administration Kit
7.1.2. Off–line mode. Pending application of
new settings
The settings for a Kaspersky Anti-Virus
®
workstation are stored on this
workstation and the supervising server. Usually these copies of settings are
identical. However, the workstation can be unavailable for the administrator (e.g.,
when it is disconnected from the power supply or the network, located in a
temporarily disconnected network segment, or when the Kaspersky AV Control
Centre program on the workstation is inactive). In these cases, the workstation is
in off-line mode.
The administrator can view and change settings for a workstation in off-line
mode. In dact,, the changes will be applied to the copy of the settings that is
stored on the supervising server. If at this time the workstation is operating, the
Kaspersky Anti-Virus
®
programs use the old settings stored on the workstation.
When the workstation appears on the network (or, to be more precise, upon the
first restart of Kaspersky AV Control Centre on the workstation, which is in the
on-line mode), the changes will be automatically applied to the copy of the
workstation settings.
In Figure 48, you can see a workstation in off-line mode. The workstation
property pane shows the corresponding message Off-line mode – Last known
settings.
