About Kaspersky Security tasks

You can create the following types of tasks for working with Kaspersky Security through Kaspersky Security Center:

• Group task. A task performed on the client computers of the selected administration group. For Kaspersky Security, group tasks can be executed on SVMs of one KSC cluster or on SVMs of all KSC clusters.
• Task for sets of computers. A task for one or several SVMs regardless of whether or not they are included in an administration group.

For more information about managing tasks, see Kaspersky Security Center documentation.

You can use the following tasks to control Kaspersky Security:

• Full Scan. This task is started on SVMs that you selected when creating the task, and lets you perform a virus scan on all virtual machines that are protected by those SVMs. You can create a full scan task for all SVMs of one KSC cluster, for all SVMs of all KSC clusters, or for an individual SVM. Depending on this, the task scope includes all virtual machines within the protected infrastructure of one KSC cluster, all virtual machines within the protected infrastructure of all KSC clusters, or all virtual machines under the protection of a specific SVM.
• Custom Scan. This task is started on all SVMs of one KSC cluster that you selected when creating the task, and lets you run a virus scan of specified virtual machines within the protected infrastructure of the selected KSC cluster. The Custom Scan task scope includes the virtual machines that you specified in the task settings. You can specify individual virtual machines and their combinations or specify NSX Security Groups whose virtual machines need to be scanned.
• Update. Kaspersky Security Center installs application databases updates on the SVMs on which the task is run. You can create an update task for SVMs of one KSC cluster, for all SVMs of all KSC clusters, or for an individual SVM.
• Rollback. Kaspersky Security Center rolls back the latest application database updates on the SVMs on which the task is run. You can create an update rollback task for SVMs of one KSC cluster, for all SVMs of all KSC clusters, or for an individual SVM.
• Application activation. Kaspersky Security Center adds a key to the SVMs on which the task is run in order to activate the application or renew the license. You can create an application activation task for SVMs of one KSC cluster, for all SVMs of all KSC clusters, or for an individual SVM.
• Automatic installation of patches. Kaspersky Security Center installs application patches for Kaspersky Security on the SVMs on which the task is run. You can create an automatic patch installation task for SVMs of one KSC cluster, for all SVMs of all KSC clusters, or for an individual SVM.
