Control Panel

The Control Panel at the top of the Machines page executes tasks, either for the entire Explorer Grid or for a single selected machine.

Actions

• Cancel Pending Action - Cancel pending actions on selected machines.
• Open new window - Display machine Antivirus information in a new window.
• Reboot - Reboot selected machines.

Column Sets

Selecting a column set displays a predefined set of columns.

• Modify Columns - Customize the set of columns displayed by any column set.

  Note: See Antivirus Columns for a description of each column available to display in any Explorer Grid column set.

• Installation - Displays installation columns in the Explorer Grid for all agent machines.
• Status - Displays status columns in the Explorer Grid for all agent machines installed with a Antivirus client.
• Licensing - Displays licensing columns in the Explorer Grid for all agent machines installed with a Antivirus client.
• Detections - Displays threat detection columns in the Explorer Grid for all agent machines installed with a Antivirus client.
• Version - Displays version columns in the Explorer Grid for all agent machines installed with a Antivirus client.
• Scan - Displays scan columns in the Explorer Grid for all agent machines installed with a Antivirus client.
• Windows Security Center - Displays installed third-party antivirus, anti-malware and firewall software detected by the Windows Security Center.
• Upgrade Ready - Lists machines with out-of-date Antivirus clients installed and the latest version of the Antivirus client available. Only workstation machines need to be upgraded.

Assign

Assign an Antivirus configuration profile to selected machines. Workstations and servers can be selected and assigned at the same time. You do not have to select only workstations or only servers. Workstations are assigned the selected workstation profile. Servers are assigned the selected server profile.

Scan

Schedules an Antivirus scan on selected machines.

• Start Date - The start date of the scan.
• Time - The start time of the scan.
• Distribution Window - Reschedules multiple scans evenly across a distribution window no later than the number of periods specified, to spread network traffic and server loading.

There are two types of scan:

• Full Scan - A thorough scan of the entire system. The following objects are scanned by default: system memory, programs loaded on startup, system backup, email databases, hard drives, removable storage media and network drives.
• Quick Scan - Virus scan of operating system startup objects.

Update

Schedules an update on selected machines with the latest Antivirus definitions.

• Start Date - The start date of the update.
• Time - The start time of the update.
• Distribution Window - Reschedules multiple updates evenly across a distribution window no later than the number of periods specified, to spread network traffic and server loading.

Install

• Install - Installs the Antivirus client on selected machines. Workstations and servers can be selected and installed at the same time. Workstations are assigned the selected workstation profile. Servers are assigned the selected server profile.

  Note: Specialized agent procedures are provided with Antivirus that enable you to "pre-deploy" the Antivirus installer package to endpoints, reducing required bandwidth. See the knowledge base article.

• Uninstall - Uninstalls the Antivirus client on selected machines.

  Note: If you attempt to uninstall the Antivirus client manually from the managed machine—or want to disable protection or change the settings—you are prompted for a password. The password is KaseyaUninstall.

• Verify - Installs the Antivirus utilities required to manage a Kaseya version of Kaspersky that is already present on a managed machine. This might be used, for example, if the Kaseya agent was uninstalled from a machine without first uninstalling Antivirus from that machine. After reinstalling the Kaseya agent, run Verify.

  Note: The Verify option also applies, along with other steps, when migrating Antivirus machines to a new VSA. Contact support for more information.

• Upgrade Client Version - Upgrades selected machines to the latest version of Antivirus client, providing an earlier version of the client is already installed on the machine. Only workstation machines need to be upgraded.
  • Start Date - The start date of the upgrade.
  • Time - The start time of the upgrade.
  • Distribution Window - Reschedules multiple installations evenly across a distribution window no later than the number of periods specified, to spread network traffic and server loading.
  • Of the machines selected, the following will not be upgraded - Lists selected machines that are ineligible for upgrading.

Licensing

• AutoExtend - Enables and disables Auto-Extend for machines installed with Antivirus. Displays the total number of licenses purchased and expired, and the number of full and partial licenses available.
  • When Auto-Extend is enabled and a Antivirus license expires, a license is pulled from your license pool automatically. This ensures the endpoint does not go without antimalware protection at any point, as long as you have available licenses. Auto-Extend always uses a partial license if one is available.
  • In the event you uninstall Antivirus from an endpoint, that license goes into a partial license pool. When Antivirus is deployed to a new endpoint, Kaseya License Manager always checks the partial license pool first. If a partial license is available, the partial license is used on the endpoint with the new install. If no partial licenses are available, Kaseya uses a full Antivirus license.
  • Licenses begin their clock ticking on the first day they are installed. If uninstalled, the clock continues to tick on that license. By deploying these partial licenses for new installations of Antivirus, you can get the most out of each 1-year license.
• License Counts - Lists license counts for servers and workstations. Licenses for servers and workstations are purchased and tracked separately. Antivirus license counts also display on the System > License Manager page.
  • Total Purchased to date
  • Full Available (Purchased not allocated, applied, partial or expired)
  • Allocated (Scheduled for install, but install not yet complete)
  • Applied (Active license applied to a machine)
  • Partial Available (Formerly assigned to a machine but returned to pool before expiration)
  • Partial Allocated (Partial Available that has been scheduled for install, but install not yet complete)
  • Total (purchase licenses minus expired)
  • Expired Licenses

Protection

• Get Status - Returns the enable/disabled status of Antivirus components on a machine and, if necessary, corrects the display of the component status icons in the Explorer Grid.
• Temporarily Enable - Re-enables Antivirus protection on selected machines.
• Temporarily Disable - Disables Antivirus protection on selected machines. Some software installations require Antivirus software be disabled to complete the install.
