Step 4. Selecting a SVM

This step is available if you started the New Task Wizard from the Tasks folder.

Specify the method of selection of the SVMs for which you are creating the task:

• Click the Select network devices detected by Administration Server button if you want to select SVMs from the list of virtual machines detected by Administration Server while polling the local area network.
• Click the Specify device addresses manually or import from list button if you want to specify the addresses of SVMs manually or import the list of SVMs from a file. Addresses are imported from a TXT file with a list of addresses of SVMs, with each address in a separate row.

  If you import a list of addresses from file or specify the addresses manually and the SVMs are identified by name, the list of SVMs for which the task is being created can be supplemented only with those SVMs whose details have already been included in the Administration Server database upon connection of SVMs or following a poll of the local area network.

• Click the Assign task to selected devices button if you want to create a task for SVMs selected according to a predefined criterion. For details on creating a selection of devices, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center documentation.

Depending on the specified method of SVM selection, perform one of the following operations in the window that opens:

• In the list of detected virtual machines, specify the SVMs on which you want to create the task. To do so, select check boxes in the list on the left of the name of the relevant SVMs.
• Click the Add or Add IP range button and specify the addresses of SVMs.
• Click the Import button, and in the window that opens select the TXT file containing the list of SVM addresses.
• Click the Browse button and in the window that opens specify the name of the selection containing SVMs on which you want to create the task.

Proceed to the next step of the Task Wizard.
