The Application modules update task downloads and installs automatically patches which remove the detected vulnerabilities in Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Servers Enterprise Edition.

You can: 

• get information about new patches for the application; 

• download and install patches for the Anti-Virus in the automatic mode; 

• get information about new Maintenance Packs published on Kaspersky Lab’s site. These Maintenance Packs can be downloaded and installed manually.

The Application modules update task resides in the Update node of the Anti-Virus Console. To edit its settings in the Anti-Virus Console expand the Update node > right-click the Application modules update task > in the context menu select the necessary command: 

• to change the task schedule run the command Schedule task. By running this command you can flexibly configure the task schedule or can cancel the task start after a set date. Update task cannot be either restricted or paused.

By default the task is started once a week every Friday.

• to change the account under which the task will run choose the command Change account. Irrespective of the start mode (manual or scheduled) if you have not defined the account under which the task should run it will run under the same account with Kaspersky Anti-Virus service (by default it is Local System Account).

To run the task manually the account under which the Anti-Virus Console has been started should have the right to start tasks (Manage task state)

• to choose the update source, to change the proxy-server settings run the command Properties.

As an update source you can choose (on the General tab): 

• Kaspersky Lab’s update servers

For the Anti-Virus to download updates from the geographically closest update server, set your country on the Regional settings tab. If you choose Detect automatically the country is detected automatically according to the regional settings of the computer on which the Anti-Virus is installed (Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Regional Options > Location). 

• Kaspersky Administration Server

Choose this update variant if Kaspersky Administration Kit is implemented in the corporate network. The databases will be updated by means of the Administration Agent installed on the protected server. 

• Custom HTTP, FTP-servers or network folders

If HTTP or FTP servers or local servers or folders specified by the user are used as the update source. If you select this option, you must create a list of sources with current sets of updates. To do so, click the Modify button. If several resources are specified as update sources, the application will attempt to connect to them one after another, starting from the top of the list, and retrieve the updates from the first available source. The order of the sources in the list can be changed as well.

If the resources that you selected from the list are unavailable, the Kaspersky Lab update servers can be used as the update source. To enable this feature, select the Use Kaspersky Lab's update servers if custom servers or network folders are not accessible checkbox.

In the Update setting section set the working mode for the task: only check for available critical application modules updates or download and install critical application modules updates.

After the patch installation, server reboot might be required. Not to terminate work of the applications launched on the server, clear the box Allow system reboot and system reboot will be delayed.

Irrespective of the selected task mode you can get information about available application modules updates. For it check the box Receive information about available application modules updates

If you checked this box, configure receiving notifications about new Maintenance Packs: in the Anti-Virus Console > right-click the Kaspersky Anti-Virus node > choose the event New application modules updates are available > in the section Notify administrators choose the necessary notification method. This notification will have the link to the page of the Kaspersky Lab’s site with the necessary information about how to install the Maintenance Pack.

To configure the proxy-server settings go to the Connection settings tab

 

By default it is supposed that Firewall is enabled in the LAN and the passive mode is used to connect with FTP-servers. That is why the box Use passive FTP mode if possible is checked by default. Clear this box if you use active FTP mode.

Proxy-server parameters depend either on the proxy-server (if it is used or not) or on the selected update source: 

• Kaspersky Lab’s update servers is chosen

If you use a proxy-server to get access to the Internet, check the box Use specified proxy-server parameters to connect to Kaspersky Lab’s update servers. Clear the box if you do not use the proxy-server. 

• Kaspersky Administration Server is chosen

With this update source selected the Administration Agent installed on the protected server performs the update. No additional setting of the proxy-parameters by this update scenario is required.

If you checked the box Use Kaspersky Lab's update servers if custom servers or network folders are not accessible and you establish connection with the Internet using the proxy-server, in this case you should also check the box Use specified proxy-server parameters to connect to Kaspersky Lab’s update servers. 

• Custom HTTP, FTP-servers or network folders is chosen

If connection with the above mentioned sources is established via a proxy-server in this case check Use specified proxy server settings for custom servers. If the list of update servers contains LAN resources then check the box By pass proxy server for local addresses so that when establishing connection parameters of the proxy-server would not be considered.

If you checked the box Use Kaspersky Lab's update servers if custom servers or network folders are not accessible and you establish connection with the Internet using the proxy-server, in this case you should also check the box Use specified proxy-server parameters to connect to Kaspersky Lab’s update servers.

If you use a proxy to connect to the update source, then:

1. define proxy-server settings in the section Proxy-server settings 

• if you use Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Protocol (WPAD) in the network, choose the variant Automatically detect the proxy-server settings (default setting). 
• if other mark Use custom proxy-server settings and define the address and port via which the connection will be established.

2. in the section Proxy server authentication settings choose the authentication mode.
