Select update source

To select an update source:

  1. Perform the following steps in the Management Console tree:
    • To select an update source for an unassigned Security Server, expand the node of the relevant Security Server.
    • To select an update source for Security Servers belonging to a single profile, expand the Profiles node

      and inside it maximize the node of the profile for whose Security Servers you want to choose a database update source.
  2. Select the Updates node.
  3. Perform one of the following actions: if you want to select an update source for Anti-Spam databases, expand the Anti-Spam databases update configuration section; if you want to select an update source for Anti-Virus databases, expand the Anti-virus databases update configuration section.
  4. Select one of the following options from the Update source list:
    • To download updates from Kaspersky servers, select the Kaspersky Lab's update servers item.

      This source of updates is set by default.

    • If you want to download updates from an intermediary server, local or network folder, select HTTP server, FTP server, local or network folder. Then specify the server address or the full path to a local or network folder in the entry field.
    • To download updates from an update center, select the Update Center storage item. Then select the server that is the update center in the drop-down list.

      You can specify this update source if at least one update center has been created in your configuration. If the Microsoft Exchange server for which you are selecting an update source is deployed in an Edge Transport role, the name of the server designated as the update server may be missing from the drop-down list. In this case, manually type the name of the server that is the designated update center.

  5. Click the Save button.

If the application is running in a configuration with a DAG of Microsoft Exchange servers, the automatic Anti-Virus database update settings (in particular, the source of updates) configured on one of the servers will be automatically applied to all servers within the DAG. It is not necessary to configure update settings on other servers.
