Kaspersky Security for Windows Server task categories

Real-Time Server Protection, Server Control, On-Demand Scan, and Update functions in Kaspersky Security for Windows Server are implemented as tasks.

You can manage tasks using the task's context menu in the Application Console tree, the toolbar, and the quick access bar. You can view task status information in the details pane. Task management operations are recorded in the system audit log.

There are two types of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server tasks: local and group.

Local tasks

Local tasks are executed only on the protected device for which they are created. Depending on the start method, the following types of local tasks exist:

• Local system tasks. Created automatically during installation of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server. You can edit the settings of all system tasks, except for the Quarantine Scan and Rollback of Database Update tasks. System tasks cannot be renamed or deleted. You can run system and custom On-Demand Scan tasks simultaneously.
• Local custom tasks. In the Application Console, you can create On-Demand Scan tasks. In Kaspersky Security Center you can create On-Demand Scan, Database Update, Rollback of Database Update, and Copying Updates tasks. Such tasks are called custom tasks. Custom tasks can be renamed, configured, and deleted. You can run several custom tasks simultaneously.

Group tasks

Group tasks and tasks for sets of protected devices created using Kaspersky Security Center are displayed in the Application Console. Such tasks are called group tasks. Group tasks can be managed and configured from the Kaspersky Security Center. In the Application Console, you can only view the status of group tasks.
