Updating application databases via Kaspersky Security Center

You can use Kaspersky Security Center to centrally download updates for the Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam databases. If this is the case, update packages will be saved in a network folder and will be relayed to the application over the internal corporate network. This method lets you reduce external network traffic and optimize application database updates on protected servers whose network settings block access to external network resources.

To configure this method for updating application databases:

• In the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console, create a download updates to the repository task and specify the network folder in which to save updates. For more detailed information, please refer to the  Kaspersky Security Center Administrator's Guide.

  Make sure that the network settings allow data transfer between the selected network folder and the protected Microsoft Exchange servers.

• In the Management Console of Kaspersky Security for Microsoft Exchange Servers, go to the Updates node. In the Anti-virus databases update and Anti-Spam databases update sections, select HTTP server, FTP server, local or network folder and specify the network folder that is defined as the update source in Kaspersky Security Center.
