Configuring quarantine settings and restoration of objects from quarantine

To configure the quarantine settings:

1. Open Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
2. In the console tree, open the Policies folder.
3. Select Kaspersky Endpoint Agent policy and open its properties window in one of the following ways:
   • Double-click the policy name.
   • Select Properties in the policy context menu.
   • Select the Configure policy settings item in the right part of the window.
4. In the Repositories section select the Quarantine subsection.
5. In the Quarantine settings section configure the quarantine settings:
   1. In the Quarantine folder field, enter the path to where you want to create the Quarantine folder on the devices or click Browse and select the path.

      The default path is %SOYUZAPPDATA%\Quarantine\. The Quarantine folder is created on all devices with Kaspersky Endpoint Agent at the following path: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Kaspersky Lab\Endpoint Agent\4.0.

      The value of the %ALLUSERSPROFILE% variable depends on the operating system of the device where Kaspersky Endpoint Agent is installed.

      Example: If Kaspersky Endpoint Agent is installed on drive C, the path to the Quarantine folder is: C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\Endpoint Agent\4.0\Quarantine

   2. To configure the maximum quarantine size, select the Maximum Quarantine size (MB) check box and type the maximum size of quarantine in MB or select it from the list.

      For example, you can set the maximum quarantine size to 200 MB.

      When the maximum quarantine size is reached, Kaspersky Endpoint Agent publishes the corresponding event on Kaspersky Security Center server and in the Windows Event Log, but does not stop quarantining new objects.

   3. To specify the quarantine threshold (the space in quarantine remaining until the maximum quarantine size is reached), select the Available space threshold (MB) check box.

      For example, you can set the quarantine threshold value to 50 MB.

      When the quarantine threshold is reached, Kaspersky Endpoint Agent publishes the corresponding event on Kaspersky Security Center server and in the Windows Event Log, but does not stop quarantining new objects.

6. In the Restoring objects from Quarantine section, in the Target folder for restored objects field, specify the path to create the folder for objects restored from quarantine.

   The default path is %SOYUZAPPDATA%\Restored\. The Restored folder is created on all devices with Kaspersky Endpoint Agent at the following path: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Kaspersky Lab\Endpoint Agent\4.0.

   The value of the %ALLUSERSPROFILE% variable depends on the operating system of the device where Kaspersky Endpoint Agent is installed.

   Example: If Kaspersky Endpoint Agent is installed on drive C, the path to the folder with the objects restored from quarantine is: C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\Endpoint Agent\4.0\Restored

7. In the upper right corner of the settings group, change the switch from Policy not enforced to Under policy.
8. Click Apply and OK.

Quarantine settings and the folder for restoring objects from quarantine are configured.
