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 Enable real-time protection after installation of application (default option) is selected 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 PM.

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

• Start the application database update task. After installation Kaspersky Security for Windows Server will scan objects using the database included in the application distribution kit.

  We recommend updating Kaspersky Security for Windows Server databases immediately since they may be out of date.

  The application will then update the databases every hour according to the default schedule configured in the task.

• Run a Critical Areas Scan on 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.
• Configure administrator notifications about Kaspersky Security for Windows Server events.

   • Use NTLM authentication, if the proxy server supports the built-in Microsoft Windows NTLM authentication. Kaspersky Security for Windows Server will use the user account specified in the task settings to access the proxy server (by default the task will run under the local system (SYSTEM) user account).
   • Use NTLM authentication with user name and password, if the proxy server supports the built-in Microsoft Windows NTLM authentication. Kaspersky Security for Windows Server will use the specified account to access the proxy server. Enter a user name and password or select a user from the list.
