To add an on-demand scan task:

  1. Select and open in the Management Console tree the node corresponding to the necessary SharePoint server. Then select the On-demand scan node.
  2. Click the Create button in the workspace.

    This opens the Task settings window on the General tab.

  3. In the Task name field, specify the name of the task. It can contain no more than 100 symbols and not use % ? ? \ | / : * < >.
  4. Specify the application's actions when running this task.
    • If necessary, select the Scan modified files only check box. During repeated runs of the task, the application will scan only those files that have been modified since the previous scan.
    • If necessary, select the Move files to backup check box. When running the task, Kaspersky Security will place copies of the scanned files in Backup.
    • If necessary, select the Scan service files check box. When running the task, Kaspersky Security will scan service files of SharePoint.
  5. Select the scan type for objects and configure the actions to be performed by the application during the selected type of scan:
    • Anti-Virus scan.

      To select this type of scan, select the Enable Anti-Virus scan check box and specify the action the application should perform when running the task for the following file types:

      • infected and probably infected files
      • password-protected files
      • corrupted files.
    • Enable Content filtering.

      To select this type of scan, select the Enable Content filtering check box and configure the actions to take on files containing unwanted content by selecting them from the Actions with files that contain unwanted content drop-down list. If you want the application to scan SharePoint web objects (such as wiki pages and forums hosted on a SharePoint server) with Content Filtering, select the Scan SharePoint web content check box.

  6. Configure limits for running the task:
    • If you want to limit the duration of task execution, select the Use task execution timeout (h : m) check box and specify a value in the field on the right (in hours and minutes). When performing a task the application automatically stops the task after the specified time has passed. In the scroll box on the right, you can specify the maximum allowed task duration in hh:mm format. On-demand task duration limits:
      • If the task is not completed when the specified time interval expires, the application stops the task.
      • The maximum task run time is 30 minutes.
      • The default task run time is 3 hours.
      • If this check box is cleared, the task run time is unlimited.
      • The check box is cleared by default.
    • If you want to limit the duration for a scan of each individual file, select the Use object scan timeout (s) check box and enter a value (in seconds) in the field on the right. If this check box is selected, the application limits the object scan time (e.g., when scanning a file). In the spin box on the right, you can specify the maximum allowed scan time (in seconds). When the specified time expires, the application stops the object scan and proceeds to another object. Object scanning duration limits:
      • If an object scan has been stopped due to the expiration of the specified time interval, the application assigns the Not infected status to the object.
      • Possible values in this field span from 30 to 60,000 seconds.
      • The default scan timeout is 30 seconds.
      • If the check box is cleared, the object scan time is unlimited.
      • The check box is cleared by default.
  7. In the workspace, select the Schedule tab.
    1. In the Schedule section, set up a schedule for the on-demand scan task:
      • If you want to run the on-demand scan task manually at your convenience, select manually.
      • If you want the on-demand scan task to run once at the specified time, select Once and specify the date and time for task start.
      • If you want the on-demand scan task to run automatically every week, select Weekly and specify the days and time for task start.

        If the Once or Weekly option is selected, the application uses the time set on the SharePoint server where the task will be run.

    2. In the Start on-demand scan tasks on the following servers section, select the check boxes next to those servers the application needs to scan on-demand.

      Default check box selections:

      • If you are using one SharePoint server, the box next to the only SharePoint server is selected by default.
      • If you are using several SharePoint servers, all boxes will be unselected by default.
  8. Click the OK button.

The new task will be added to the list of tasks in the workspace of the On-demand scan node.
