Kaspersky Endpoint Security allows you to export and import all application settings for troubleshooting, verifying settings, or simplifying the application's configuration on other computers.
When you export settings, all application and task settings are saved to a configuration file. This configuration file is used to import the application's configuration settings.
The application must be launched when settings are imported or exported. After the settings are imported, the application must be restarted.
If the application is managed via Kaspersky Security Center, importing settings is not supported.
When importing or exporting settings from an older application version, new settings are set to default values. Importing settings to an older application version is not supported.
When you import application settings, the UseKSN setting is set to No. To start or resume participation in Kaspersky Security Network, specify UseKSN=Basic or UseKSN=Extended.
After importing application settings, internal task IDs can be changed. It is recommended to use task names to manage them.
To export the application settings to the configuration file, execute the following command:
kesl-control --export-settings --file <full path to configuration file>
To configure the application with settings from a configuration file (import settings), execute the following command:
kesl-control --import-settings --file <full path to configuration file>
