If you selected the Managed devices folder or an administration group containing a KSC cluster, select the Tasks tab in the workspace.
Click the New task button to start the New Task Wizard.
At the first step of the Wizard, select the type of task.
If you want to create a task for scanning virtual machines that are not part of a Cloud Director organization, select Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.1 Agentless → Full Scan.
If you want to create a task for scanning virtual machines of tenants, select Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.1 Agentless (for tenants) → Full Scan.
If necessary, specify the scan scope of the task: indicate the locations and extensions of the files of virtual machines that need to be scanned or excluded from scanning during a scan task.
Proceed to the next step of the New Task Wizard.
If you started the New Task Wizard from the Tasks folder, specify the method for selecting the SVMs on which the task must be run:
Click the Select network devices detected by Administration Server button if you want to select SVMs from the list of devices detected by Administration Server while polling the local area network.
Click the Specify device addresses manually or import from list button if you want to specify the addresses of SVMs manually or import the list of SVMs from a file. Addresses are imported from a TXT file with a list of addresses of SVMs, with each address in a separate row.
If you import a list of addresses from file or specify the addresses manually and the SVMs are identified by name, the list of SVMs for which the task is being created can be supplemented only with those SVMs whose details have already been included in the Administration Server database upon connection of SVMs or following a poll of the local area network.
Click the Assign task to a device selection button if the task must be run on all SVMs that are part of a selection based on a predefined criterion. For details on creating a selection of devices, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center documentation.
Click the Assign task to an administration group button if the task must be run on all SVMs within an administration group.
Depending on the specified method of SVM selection, perform one of the following operations in the window that opens:
In the list of detected devices, specify the SVMs on which the task will be run. To do so, select check boxes in the list on the left of the name of the relevant SVMs.
Click the Add or Add IP range button and specify the addresses of SVMs.
Click the Import button, and in the window that opens select the TXT file containing the list of SVM addresses.
Click the Browse button and in the opened window specify the name of the selection containing the SVMs on which the task will be run.
Click the Browse button and select an administration group or manually enter the name of an administration group.
Proceed to the next step of the New Task Wizard.
Configure the task run schedule and proceed to the next step of the Wizard.
In the Name field, enter the task name and proceed to the next step of the Wizard.
If you want the task to start as soon as the New Task Wizard finishes, select the Run task when the wizard is complete check box.
Finish the wizard.
The created custom scan task appears in the list of tasks. If you configured a task start schedule in the Task start schedule settings window, the task is started according to this schedule. You can also run the task manually at any time.
