An update source is a resource that contains updates for databases and application modules of Kaspersky Endpoint Security.
Update sources include the Kaspersky Security Center server, Kaspersky update servers, and network or local folders.
The default list of update sources includes Kaspersky Security Center and Kaspersky update servers. You can add other update sources to the list. You can specify HTTP/FTP servers and shared folders as update sources.
Kaspersky Endpoint Security does not support updates from HTTPS servers unless they are Kaspersky's update servers.
If several resources are selected as update sources, Kaspersky Endpoint Security tries to connect to them one after another, starting from the top of the list, and performs the update task by retrieving the update package from the first available source.
By default, Kaspersky Endpoint Security uses the Kaspersky Security Center server as the first update source. This helps conserve traffic when updating. If a policy is not applied to the computer, Kaspersky servers are selected as the first update source in the settings of the Update local task because the application may not have access to the Kaspersky Security Center server.
Open the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
In the console tree, select Tasks.
Click the Update task of Kaspersky Endpoint Security.
The task properties window opens.
The Update task is created automatically by the Administration Server quick start wizard. To create the Update task, install the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows Management Plug-in while running the Wizard.
In the task properties window, select the Settings section.
Update task settings
In the Update settings for local mode block, click the Settings button.
Sources of update
In the list of update sources, click the Add button.
In the Update sources field, specify the address of the FTP or HTTP server, network folder or local folder that contains the update package.
The following path format is used for update source:
For an FTP or HTTP server, enter its web address or IP address.
For example, http://dnl-01.geo.kaspersky.com/ or 93.191.13.103.
For an FTP server, you can specify the authentication settings within the address in the following format: ftp://<user name>:<password>@<node>:<port>.
For a network folder, enter the UNC path.
For example, \\Server\Share\Update distribution.
For a local folder, enter the full path to that folder.
For example, C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Kaspersky Lab\AVP11\Update distribution\.
You can exclude the update source without removing it from the list of update sources. To do so, clear the check box next to the object.
Click OK.
Configure the priorities of update sources by using the Up and Down buttons.
If an update cannot be performed from the first update source, Kaspersky Endpoint Security automatically switches over to the next source.
If necessary, add an update source for mobile mode. Mobile mode is the mode of Kaspersky Endpoint Security operation, when a computer leaves the organization network perimeter (offline computer).
In the main window of the Web Console, select Devices → Tasks.
The list of tasks opens.
Click the Update task of Kaspersky Endpoint Security.
The task properties window opens.
The Update task is created automatically by the Administration Server quick start wizard. To create the Update task, install the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows Management Plug-in while running the Wizard.
