The New task wizard starts. Follow the instructions of the wizard. In the New task window of the New task wizard, select the Kaspersky Security Center 15 application and the Change Administration Server task type. After that, specify the devices for which you want to change the Administration Server:
The task is assigned to devices included in an administration group. You can specify one of the existing groups or create a new one.
For example, you may want to use this option to run a task of sending a message to users if the message is specific for devices included in a specific administration group.
If a task is assigned to an administration group, the Security tab is not displayed in the task properties window because group tasks are subject to the security settings of the groups to which they apply.
You can specify DNS names, IP addresses, and IP subnets of devices to which you want to assign the task.
You may want to use this option to execute a task for a specific subnet. For example, you may want to install a certain application on devices of accountants or to scan devices in a subnet that is probably infected.
The task is assigned to devices included in a device selection. You can specify one of the existing selections.
For example, you may want to use this option to run a task on devices with a specific operating system version.
Run the created task.
After the task is complete, the client devices for which it was created are put under the management of the Administration Server specified in the task settings.
If the Administration Server supports encryption and data protection and you are creating a Change Administration Server task, a warning is displayed. The warning states that if any encrypted data is stored on devices, after the new Server begins managing the devices, users will be able to access only the encrypted data with which they previously worked. In other cases, no access to encrypted data is provided. For detailed descriptions of scenarios in which access to encrypted data is not provided, refer to the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows Help.
