Actions to perform after Kaspersky Security for Windows Server installation

Kaspersky Security for Windows Server starts protection and scan tasks immediately after installation if you have activated the application. If you select Enable real-time protection after installation of application during installation of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server, the application scans the device's file system objects when they are accessed.If the Script monitoring component was installed during custom installation, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server scans the program code of all scripts when they are run. Kaspersky Security for Windows Server will run the Critical Areas Scan task every Friday at 8:00 P.M.

We recommend taking the following steps after installing Kaspersky Security for Windows Server:

• Start the Kaspersky Security for Windows Server Database Update task. After installation Kaspersky Security for Windows Server will scan objects using the database included in its distribution kit. We recommend updating the Kaspersky Security for Windows Server database immediately. To do so, you must run the Database Update task. The database will then be updated every hour according to the default schedule.

  For example, you can run the Database Update task by running the following command:

  KAVSHELL UPDATE /KL /PROXY:proxy.company.com:8080 /AUTHTYPE:1 /PROXYUSER:inetuser /PROXYPWD:123456

  In this case, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server database updates are downloaded from Kaspersky update servers. Connection to an update source is established via a proxy server (proxy server address: proxy.company.com, port: 8080) using built-in Windows NTLM authentication to access the server under an account (username: inetuser; password: 123456).

• Run a Critical Areas Scan of the device if no anti-virus software with real-time file protection was installed on the device before installation of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server.

To start the Critical Areas Scan task using the command line:

KAVSHELL SCANCRITICAL /W:scancritical.log

This command saves the task log in a file named scancritical.log contained in the current folder.

• Configure administrator notifications about Kaspersky Security for Windows Server events.
