About importing and exporting settings
Kaspersky Security for Windows Server can export settings to an XML configuration file. You can also import settings into Kaspersky Security for Windows Server from a configuration file. You can save all application settings, or settings for individual components, to a configuration file.
When you export all Kaspersky Security for Windows Server settings to a file, the general application settings are saved. The settings for the following Kaspersky Security for Windows Server components are also saved:
- Real-Time File Protection
- KSN Usage
- Device Control
- Applications Launch Control
- Rule Generator for Device Control
- Rule Generator for Applications Launch Control
- On-Demand Scan
- Traffic Security
- Script Monitoring
- ICAP Network Storage Protection
- RPC Network Storage Protection
- Anti-Cryptor for NetApp
- File Integrity Monitor
- Log Inspector
- Kaspersky Security for Windows Server database and software module updates
- Quarantine
- Backup
- Logs
- Administrator and user notifications
- Trusted Zone
- Exploit Prevention
- Blocked Hosts storage
- Password protection
You can also save general Kaspersky Security for Windows Server settings and user account permissions in the configuration file. However, group task settings cannot be exported.
Kaspersky Security for Windows Server exports all passwords used by the application, such as 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 only using Kaspersky Security for Windows Server installed on the same protected device if the application has not been reinstalled or updated.
You cannot import previously saved passwords using Kaspersky Security for Windows Server installed on a different protected device. If you import the settings to another protected device, you must enter all passwords manually.
If a Kaspersky Security Center policy is active at the time of export, the application exports the settings of that policy.
You can import settings for individual components of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server from a configuration file (for example, from a file created in an incomplete installation of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server). After you import the settings, only Kaspersky Security for Windows Server settings 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.
