You can obtain a list of executable files stored on managed devices. To inventory executable files, you must create an inventory task.

For Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux, the feature of inventorying executable files is available since no earlier that version 11.2.

To create an inventory task for executable files on client devices:

  1. In the main menu, go to Assets (Devices) → Tasks.

    The list of tasks is displayed.

  2. Click the Add button.

    The New task wizard starts. Follow the steps of the wizard.

  3. On the New task page, from the Application drop-down list, select Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux or Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows, depending on the operating system of the client devices.
  4. From the Task type drop-down list, select Inventory.
  5. On the Finish task creation page, click the Finish button.

After the New task wizard has finished, the Inventory task is created and configured. If you want, you can change the settings for the created task. The newly created task is displayed in the list of tasks.

For a detailed description of the inventory task, see the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux Help and the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows Help.

After the Inventory task is performed, the list of executable files stored on managed devices is formed, and you can view the list.

During inventory, executable files in the following formats are detected: MZ, COM, PE, NE, SYS, CMD, BAT, PS1, JS, VBS, REG, MSI, CPL, DLL, JAR, and HTML.

To view the list of executable files stored on client devices:

In the main menu, go to Operations → Third-party applications → Executable files.

The page displays the list of executable files stored on client devices.
