Configuring updates from a shared folder
To conserve Internet traffic, you can configure updates of databases and application modules on computers of the organization's LAN from a shared folder. For this purpose, one of the computers on the organization's LAN must receive update packages from the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server or from Kaspersky update servers and then copy the received update package to the shared folder. Other computers on the organization's LAN will be able to receive the update package from this shared folder.
Configuring database and application module updates from a shared folder consists of the following steps:
- Enabling the copying of an update package to a shared folder on one of the computers on the local area network.
