Managing tasks in the Administration Console

You can perform the following actions with the tasks for Kaspersky Endpoint Security in the Administration Console:

• Create new tasks.
• Edit task settings.

  If the user account which is used to access the Administration Server does not have permissions to edit the settings of certain functional scopes, the settings of these functional scopes are not available for editing. Configuration of some settings is not supported in the KESL container.

• Start, stop, pause, and resume tasks.

  The Update task cannot be paused or resumed, it can only be started or stopped.

• Export and import tasks.
• Delete tasks.

In the list of tasks, you can monitor the task execution results, which include the task status and the statistics for task performance on the devices.

Information on the progress and results of task execution can be viewed in the list of events that Kaspersky Endpoint Security sends to the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server (on the Events tab in the workspace of the Administration Server <server name> node). You can also create a selection of events to monitor the execution of tasks. For details on event selection, refer to Kaspersky Security Center documentation.

Task execution results are also saved locally on the device and in Kaspersky Security Center reports.

For general information about task management, refer to the Kaspersky Security Center Help system.

If the device is managed by a policy, it may not be possible to view and manage tasks created in Kaspersky Security Center using the command line or the local user interface on the device.
