Managing Kaspersky Security for Windows Server from Web Console and Cloud Console
You can centrally manage several protected devices with Kaspersky Security for Windows Server installed and included in an administration group via the Kaspersky Security for Windows Server Web Plug-in. Kaspersky Security Center Web Console and Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console also let you separately configure each protected device in the administration group.
An administration group is created manually on Kaspersky Security Center Web Console. The group includes several devices with Kaspersky Security for Windows Server installed for which you want to configure the same control and protection settings. For details on using administration groups, see Kaspersky Security Center Help.
Application settings for a single protected device are unavailable if the operation of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server on the protected device is controlled by an active Kaspersky Security Center policy.
Kaspersky Security for Windows Server can be managed from Kaspersky Security Center Web Console in the following ways:
Using Kaspersky Security Center policies. Kaspersky Security Center policies can be used to remotely configure the same protection settings for a group of devices. Task settings specified in the active policy have priority over task settings configured locally in the Application Console or remotely in the device properties window of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console. You can use policies to configure general application settings, Real-Time Server Protection task settings, Local Activity Control tasks settings, Network Attached Storage Protection task settings, and scheduled local system task start settings.
Using Kaspersky Security Center group tasks. Kaspersky Security Center group tasks allow remote configuration of common settings of tasks with an expiration period for a group of devices. You can use group tasks to activate the application, configure On-Demand Scan task settings, update task settings, and Rule Generator for Applications Launch Control task settings.
Using tasks for a set of devices. Tasks for a set of devices allow remote configuration of common task settings with a limited execution period for protected devices that do not belong to any administration group.
Using the properties window of a single device. In the device properties window, you can remotely configure the task settings for a single protected device included in an administration group. You can also configure both general application settings and settings for all Kaspersky Security for Windows Server tasks if the selected protected device is not controlled by an active Kaspersky Security Center policy.
Kaspersky Security Center Web Console and Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console allow you to configure application settings and advanced features, and work with logs and notifications. You can configure these settings for a group of protected devices and for individual protected devices.
