Automatically downloading the application module and database update package to SVMs

Kaspersky Security Center supports automatic downloads of application database and module update packages to SVMs. This can be done using the following tasks:

• Download updates to the repository task. This task downloads the update package from the Kaspersky Security Center update source to the Administration Server storage.

  The update download task is created automatically by the Kaspersky Security Center Initial Configuration Wizard. Only one instance of the update download task can created. This is why you can create an update download task only if it has been deleted from the list of tasks of the Administration Server. For details see Kaspersky Security Center manuals.

• Database update task on the Protection Server. The task downloads application database and module update packages to SVMs belonging to the selected administration group in accordance with the configured schedule.

  After the Kaspersky Security administration plug-ins are installed in Kaspersky Security Center, the database update task is automatically created on the Protection Server. The task is created for the Managed devices administration group and lets you download the application module and database update package to all SVMs that will be moved to the Managed devices administration group or to any nested administration group.

  To download application module and database update packages to SVMs, you can use the automatically created database update task on the Protection Server. The task is started every time an update package is downloaded to the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server repository. If necessary, you can change the settings of this task or delete it and create a new database update task on the Protection Server.

To configure automatic downloads of application database and module updates:

1. Make sure that an update download task exists in Kaspersky Security Center. If the update download task does not exist, create it (see the Kaspersky Security Center manuals).
2. Make sure that Protection Server database update task has been created in Kaspersky Security Center, or create an update task for SVMs on which you want to update the databases and application modules.
