Updating Kaspersky Endpoint Security administration plug-ins
The administration plug-in for Kaspersky Endpoint Security is updated by installing the new version of the administration plug-in. Depending on the Kaspersky Security Center administration console that you use, you have to install:
- Kaspersky Endpoint Security administration web plug-in
- Kaspersky Endpoint Security MMC administration plug-in
Policies and tasks configured for Kaspersky Endpoint Security 12.0 for Linux are not compatible with the updated version of the application. If you use the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console to manage the application, then after updating the management MMC plug-in, you can convert policies and tasks using the Kaspersky Security Center Policies and Tasks Batch Conversion Wizard (see more details in the Kaspersky Security Center Help).
For most settings, converted policies and tasks use the values configured for the previous version of the application. Some settings are assigned special values. The settings that were not configured in the policies and tasks of the previous version take default values in the converted policies and tasks.
The procedure for converting policies and tasks is not available in Kaspersky Security Center Web Console. If you use the Web Console to manage the application, you must create new policies and tasks for the application in Kaspersky Security Center. You can migrate some values of settings of policies and tasks from a previous version of a policy or task to a new one by exporting and importing settings.
Administration plug-ins of the previous version continue to work after installing the new version of Kaspersky Endpoint Security administration plug-ins. You can use them to manage the previous version of Kaspersky Endpoint Security.
If you have updated the application on all client devices, you can uninstall the Kaspersky Endpoint Security administration plug-ins of the previous version.
