Update databases on a schedule

Kaspersky Anti-Virus updates the anti-virus databases in accordance with the update schedule. You can set common settings for a group of servers using a profile or set individual values for an individual server through the server settings.

To configure the update schedule for a server or a group of servers:

1. Select one of the following options to configure update settings:
   • If you are configuring the update settings for a group of servers, select a profile.
   • If you are configuring the update settings for a separate server, select a server.
2. On the action panel, click the Modify button to switch to settings editing mode.
3. In the control panel select the Anti-virus databases update tab.

   If you are configuring the update settings for a server, clear the Use profile settings check box in the Update settings section. If the check box is selected, the update settings cannot be changed. If you want to use the values set in the update profile, select the Use profile settings check box.

4. In the Schedule section, select one of the following values in the Startup frequency dropdown list:
   • Daily – an update is performed every day at the specified time. The first update will be at 00h 00m by default.
   • Monthly – an update is performed once a month on the set date at the specified Startup time. To specify the update start time, specify the relevant value in the Startup time field in HH:MM format.

     If the number of days in the months is less than the set value, the update is performed on the last day of the month.

   • Weekly – the databases are updated every week on set days at the specified Startup time. To specify the update start schedule, select check boxes opposite the days of the week when the update should be started, and enter the relevant value in the Startup time field in HH:MM format.
   • Manually – a scheduled update will not be performed. You can run an update for an individual server by clicking the Start update link or from the command line of the Lotus Domino server console. Manual updates are not available for a group of servers.
5. In the action panel, click the Apply button to save the changes. If you configure update settings for a group of servers, you can restore the default settings. To do so, click the Restore defaults button.
