Selecting a user account for running the RPC Network Storage Protection task

The user account under which the RPC Network Storage Protection task will be run must have administrator rights on the server with Kaspersky Security for Windows Server installed and must be included in the Backup Operators group in the network attached storage.

If the network attached storage and the server with Kaspersky Security for Windows Server installed are in the same domain, you can use the domain account. If the network attached storage and the server with Kaspersky Security for Windows Server installed are in the same work group, you can use local accounts with the same user name and the same password.

Only a domain account can be used for network storages running under the Data ONTAP operating system of version 8.2.1 or later in cluster mode.

If more than one user account exists on the Kaspersky Security for Windows Server side, make sure the user under which you configure and start the RPC Network Storage Protection task is added to the privileged users list for working with NetApp. If the user account does not have required privileges, files on the network attached storage shared folders can be accessed, but no scanning will be performed by the running protection tasks.

To specify a user account under which the RPC Network Storage Protection task is started:

  1. Expand the Network Attached Storage Protection node in the Application Console tree.
  2. Select the RPC Network Storage Protection child node.
  3. In the details pane of the RPC Network Storage Protection node, click the Properties link.

    The Task settings window opens.

  4. In the window that opens, go to the General tab, and in the Network attached storage systems connection settings section enter the name of the user account under which the task starts, the account password, and the password confirmation.
  5. Click OK.

The modified settings to run the task with user account permissions are saved.
