Remote Policy management 53
In order to ensure network protection the administrator can create any number of
various tasks (except tasks that can be created only once) for all applications
that are managed using Kaspersky Administration Kit.
For example, in order to scan client computers that are workstations, for
malware, you have to create an On-demand scan task for Kaspersky Anti-Virus
for Windows Workstations.
Application management functions and general service operations perform tasks
of the Kaspersky Administration Kit, Administration server and Network Agent
components. The following type of tasks are defined for this component:
• Change of the Administration server
.
• Launching / stopping the application
.
• Application deployment
.
• Application remote uninstallation
.
• Receiving updates by the Administration server
.
• Creating a backup copy of the Administration server
.
• Sending reports
.
• Distribution of the installation package
.
Tasks of these types have several distinctive features as far as creation and
launching are concerned. A detailed description of managing these tasks is
provided in the Kaspersky Administration Kit Reference Book.
You can create group, global, and local tasks for all types of tasks.
For the deployment both group and global tasks can be created. For receiving
updates, creating a backup copy and sending reports tasks only global tasks
can be created.
Receiving updates and Creating a backup copy of the Administration
server tasks can only be created in single entities and can be executed for one
computer only - the Administration server.
In order to create a task use the New / Task command from the shortcut menu
for the Group tasks folder or the Global tasks folder.
Created group tasks will be located in the nested folders Group tasks of the
corresponding groups (see Figure 15). Global tasks will be located in a special
container in the console tree called Global tasks. You can review the list of local
tasks of the client computer in the client computer properties window.
