Converting policies and tasks

If you want to use the settings of policies and tasks of a previous version of Kaspersky Security, you must perform the following actions:

  1. Convert policies and tasks using the Policies and Tasks Batch Conversion Wizard of Kaspersky Security Center.

    You can convert policies and tasks that were configured in one of the following versions of the application:

    • Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 4.0 Service Pack 1 Maintenance Release 1 Agentless
    • Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 4.0 Service Pack 1 Agentless
    • Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 4.0 Agentless

    Converted policies and tasks are named "<name of the original policy or task> (converted)" and use the parameter values of the policies and tasks of the previous version of Kaspersky Security.

  2. Copy all converted policies and tasks from the administration group containing the KSC cluster for the previous version of the application into the administration group containing the new KSC cluster.

    The administration group containing the KSC cluster for the previous version of the application is named as follows: VMware vCenter "<name of the VMware vCenter server corresponding to the KSC cluster, if it is defined>" (<IP address of the VMware vCenter server>).

    The administration group containing the new KSC cluster is named as follows: VMware vCenter '<name of the VMware vCenter server corresponding to the KSC cluster, if it is defined>' (<IP address of the VMware vCenter server>) Agentless.

    For more detailed information about copying policies and tasks, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center documentation.

After completing an application upgrade, you can delete policies and tasks that were created for the previous version of the application, and delete the administration group containing the KSC cluster for the previous version of the application.

You can also create new policies on the basis of the existing policies using the Policy Wizard. To do so, at the "Entering the group policy name" step, you must select the Use settings from policy for previous application version check box (for more details, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center documentation).
