Defining the type, name and scope of the task

At this step of the Wizard:

1. In the Application drop-down list, select the web plug-in name – Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.2 Light Agent – Protection Server.
2. In the Task type drop-down list, select Application activation.
3. In the Task name field, enter the name for the new task.
4. Select the task scope:
   • Select the Assign task to an administration group option to execute the task on all SVMs belonging to the specified administration group.
   • Select the Specify device addresses manually or import from list option to execute the task on the specified SVMs.
   • Select the Assign task to selected devices option to execute the task on the SVMs included in the selection of devices according to a predefined criterion. For details on creating a selection of devices, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center help.

   Proceed to the next step of the New Task Wizard.

5. Depending on the selected task scope, do one of the following:
   • In the administration group tree, select the checkboxes next to the required administration groups.
   • In the list of devices, select the check boxes next to the required SVMs. If the required SVMs are not listed, you can add them in the following ways:
     • Using the Add devices button. You can add devices by names or IP addresses, add devices from the specified IP address range, or select devices from the list of devices detected by the Administration Server when polling the organization’s local network.
     • Using the Import devices from file button. Addresses are imported from a TXT file with a list of addresses of SVMs, with each address in a separate row.

     If you import a list of SVMs from file or specify the addresses manually and the SVMs are identified by name, the list of SVMs for which the task is being created can be supplemented only with those SVMs whose details have already been included in the Administration Server database upon connection of SVMs or following a poll of the local area network.

   • Select the name of the selection containing the required SVMs from the list.

Proceed to the next step of the New Task Wizard.
