About importing and exporting settings
You can export Kaspersky Security for Windows Server settings to an XML configuration file and import settings into Kaspersky Security for Windows Server from a configuration file. You can save all application settings or only settings for individual components to a configuration file.
When you export all settings of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server to a file, the general application settings and settings of the following Kaspersky Security for Windows Server components and functions are saved:
- Real-Time File Protection
- KSN Usage
- Device Control
- Applications Launch Control
- Rule Generator for Device Control

You can also save the general Kaspersky Security for Windows Server settings and user account permissions in the configuration file.
You cannot export group task settings.
Kaspersky Security for Windows Server exports all passwords used by the application, for example, account credentials for running tasks or connecting to a proxy server. Exported passwords are saved in encrypted form in the configuration file. You can import passwords using Kaspersky Security for Windows Server installed on this protected device only if it has not been reinstalled or updated.
You cannot import previously saved passwords using Kaspersky Security for Windows Server installed on a different protected device. After settings have been imported on another protected device, all passwords must be entered manually.
If a Kaspersky Security Center policy is active at the time of export, the application exports the specified values used by that policy.
Settings from a configuration file containing parameters for individual components of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server (e.g., from a file created in Kaspersky Security for Windows Server installed with an incomplete set of components) can be imported. After the settings are imported, only those Kaspersky Security for Windows Server settings that were contained in the configuration file are changed. All other settings remain the same.
Settings of an active Kaspersky Security Center policy that have been blocked do not change when importing the settings.
