Creating an on-demand scan task

To create an on-demand scan task:

  1. Select and open in the Management Console tree the node corresponding to the necessary SharePoint server. Then select the On-demand scan node.
  2. Click the Create button in the workspace.

    This opens the Task settings window.

  3. In the Task name field, enter the name of the task.
  4. Configure restrictions for the newly created on-demand scan task:
    • If you want Kaspersky Security to move copies of files to Backup before processing, select the Move files to backup check box.
    • If you want to limit the duration of an on-demand scan task, select the Restrict the duration of task execution check box and specify a value in the field on the right.
    • If you want the application to scan SharePoint service files while performing the task, select the Scan service files check box.
    • If you want to limit the duration for a scan of each individual file, select the Scan timeout check box and enter a value (in seconds) in the field on the right.
    • If you want to run the task on a different SharePoint server, select the relevant SharePoint server in the Run task on server dropdown list.
  5. In the Schedule section, set up a schedule for the on-demand scan task:
    • If you want to run the on-demand scan task manually at your convenience, select manually.
    • If you want the on-demand scan task to run once at the specified time, select Once and specify the date and time for task start.
    • If you want the on-demand scan task to run automatically every week, select Weekly and specify the days and time for task start.

      If the Once or Weekly option is selected, the application uses the time set on the SharePoint server where the task will be run.

  6. If necessary, in the Anti-Virus scan section, select the Enable Anti-Virus scan check box and configure actions to be performed by the application on infected, potentially infected, password-protected, and corrupted files during the task run:
    1. In the Actions with infected and probably infected files dropdown list, select an action:
      • Disinfect. Kaspersky Security attempts to disinfect an infected or probably infected file. If the file cannot be disinfected, the application replaces it with a text file describing the reason for deletion.
      • Delete. Kaspersky Security replaces the infected or probably infected file with a text file describing the reason for deletion.
      • Skip. Kaspersky Security does not perform any operations on the infected or potentially infected file.

        After an infected file is deleted, Kaspersky Security also deletes all of its versions (regardless of whether they have been infected). We recommend that you save your files in Backup in order to avoid data losses.

    2. In the Actions with password-protected files dropdown list, select an action:
      • Delete. Kaspersky Security replaces the password-protected file with a text file describing the reason for deletion.
      • Skip. Kaspersky Security does not perform any action on the password-protected file.
    3. In the Actions with corrupted files dropdown list, select an action:
      • Delete. Kaspersky Security replaces a corrupted file with a text file describing the reason for deletion of the original file.
      • Skip. Kaspersky Security does not perform any action on the corrupted file.

        If the Skip option is selected, the application does not perform any operations on the file, but assigns it one of the status labels based on the scan results. The application records the file details in reports and statistics.

  7. If necessary, select the Enable Content filtering check box and set the action to be performed on files with unwanted content by selecting one from the Actions with files that contain unwanted content dropdown list:
    • Delete. Kaspersky Security replaces a file with unwanted content with a text file describing the reason for deletion of the original file.

      If Kaspersky Security detects unwanted content in a SharePoint service file, it does not delete this file. The application records information about unwanted content in the SharePoint service file in the task report and the application log.

    • Skip. Kaspersky Security does not perform any action on the file containing unwanted content.

      If the Skip option is selected, the application does not perform any operations on the file, but assigns it one of the status labels based on the scan results. The application records the file details in reports and statistics.

  8. If you want the application to scan SharePoint web objects (such as wiki pages and forums hosted on a SharePoint server) with Content Filtering, select the Scan SharePoint web content check box.

    If the Scan SharePoint web content check box is selected, the application scans SharePoint web objects for unwanted words or phrases included in Kaspersky Lab sections and custom categories whose settings are configured in the Content filtering node.

    On detecting unwanted content in a SharePoint web object, the application makes a corresponding record in the on-demand scan task report and the application log. Kaspersky Security does not delete the SharePoint web object or move it to Backup.

    For Content filtering to work properly, the Kaspersky Security account must have site collection administrator privileges (for all site collections) and administrator privileges for the SQL database containing the site collection.

  9. Click the OK button.

    The task that has been created will be added to the list of tasks in the workspace of the On-demand scan node.
