To select the set of operating systems:

  1. In the main window of the application web interface, select the Settings section, Sandbox servers subsection.
  2. Go to the Settings tab.
  3. Under OS set, select one of the following options:
    • Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 10.
    • CentOS 7.8, Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 10.
    • Astra Linux 1.7, Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 10.
    • Custom.
  4. If you selected Custom, under Set composition, select the check boxes next to the operating systems that you want to include in the set.

    Custom operating systems are displayed in the list if virtual machines with these operating systems are installed on the Sandbox server. Preset operating systems are always displayed in the list, but if virtual machines running these operating systems are not deployed, the Unknown status is displayed next to the name of the operating system.

Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform will create tasks for scanning objects in Sandbox in accordance with the selected set.

If the set of operating systems installed on the Sandbox server does not match the set selected on the Central Node server, objects are not sent to be scanned by that Sandbox server. If multiple Sandbox servers are connected to the Central Node server, the application sends objects to those Sandbox servers whose installed operating systems match the set selected on Central Node.

You can change the set of operating systems in the course of using the application. In this case, you need to make sure that the configuration of the Sandbox server satisfies hardware requirements.

In distributed solution and multitenancy mode, the settings of the operating system set configured on the PCN server are not applied to SCN servers connected to that PCN server. You can select the set of operating systems for each PCN and SCN server individually.
