Kaspersky Security for Windows Server task categories

Real-Time Server Protection, Server Control, On-Demand Scan, and Update functions in Kaspersky Security for Windows Server are implemented as tasks.

You can manage these tasks using the task context menu in the Application Console tree, the toolbar, and the quick access bar. You can view task status information in the results pane. Task management operations are recorded in the system audit log.

There are two types of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server tasks: local and group.

Local tasks

Local tasks can only be executed on the protected device they were created for. Depending on the start method, the following types of local tasks exist:

• Local system tasks. These tasks are created automatically during installation of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server. You can edit the settings of all local system tasks, except for the Quarantine Scan and Rollback of Database Update tasks. Local system tasks cannot be renamed or deleted. You can run local system and custom On-Demand Scan tasks simultaneously.
• Local custom tasks. In the Application Console, you can create On-Demand Scan tasks. In Kaspersky Security Center, you can create On-Demand Scan, Database Update, Rollback of Database Update, and Copying Updates tasks. You can rename, configure, and delete custom tasks. You can run several custom tasks simultaneously.

Group tasks

You can manage group tasks and tasks for sets of protected devices from the Kaspersky Security Center. All group tasks are custom tasks. Group tasks are also displayed in the Application Console. In the Application Console, you can only view the status of group tasks. You cannot use the Application Console to manage or configure group tasks.
