Selecting a column set displays a predefined set of columns in the Explorer Grid.

Actions

• Cancel Pending Action - Cancels pending actions on selected machines.
• Reboot - Reboots selected machines.
• Clear Pending Action Errors - Clears pending error icons displayed in the user interface.

Assign

Assigns a 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. See Profiles for more information.

Alert Profiles

Assigns or removes an alert profile for selected machines. The Alert Profiles tab on the Details Panel displays all profiles assigned to a machine.

Scan

Schedules an Antivirus scan on selected machines.

• Start Date/Time - The start date and time of the scan.

For Antivirus there are four types of scan:

• Critical Scan - Virus scan of operating system startup objects. Quick Scan was renamed to Critical Scan starting with Antivirus version 10.x.
• 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.
• Custom Scan - Scans unprocessed files. An infected file is considered unprocessed if no action —such as disinfect, delete, or block—was taken while scanning the computer for viruses and other threats.
• Vulnerabilty Scan - Virus scan of operating system startup objects.

Update

Schedules an update on selected machines with the latest Antivirus definitions. Also, activates the Kaspersky license on the machine, if the license was removed or never installed correctly.

• Start Date/Time - The start date/time of the update.

Install

• Install or Upgrade Antivirus - Installs or upgrades the Antivirus client on selected machines to version 10.2.5.3201. Version 10.2.4.674 installs continue to be supported. This includes taking over management of machines that already have Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business, version 10.2.4.674 installed, independently of the VSA.

  Warning: Kaseya does not support installing agents in the %windir% (typically c:\windows) directory.

  • Profile Selection - Select the profile to be applied. 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 profle. Only version 10.x workstation and server profiles can be selected.
  • Advanced Options
    • Start Date & Time - The start date and start time of the install.

      Note: The scheduling of installs, updates, scans, uninstalls, and repairs are automatically staggered when multiple machines are tasked concurrently. This applies to both on premises VSAs and across all VSA tenant partitions on the same SaaS server.

    • Allow Reboot - If checked, allows a reboot if necessary. For workstations only, a reboot is required after an install.
    • Prompt before install - If checked, the Installation only proceeds if the user is logged on and agrees to proceed.
    • Password - Sets a custom password to use with this machine. Passwords prevent an unauthorized uninstall or reconfiguration. Leave blank to use the default password. The default password is used when installing Antivirus using Policy Management. The password displays in the Details Panel. Passwords must be alphanumeric. Special characters are not supported.

      Important Note: The password can only be set during the initial install. You must uninstall the endpoint to change an existing password.

    • Blocking Install Issues - Lists issues that can prevent a successful installation on selected machines.
• Uninstall Antivirus - Uninstalls the Antivirus client on selected machines.
  • Start Date & Time - The start date and start time of the uninstall.
  • Allow Reboot - If checked, allows a reboot if necessary. For workstations only, a reboot is required after an install.
• Repair Antivirus Install - Re-installs missing files on a previously installed Antivirus client to repair it. The Antivirus client must have been previously installed using the same VSA.
  • Start Date & Time - The start date and start time of the repair.
  • Allow Reboot - If checked, allows a reboot if necessary. For workstations only, a reboot is required after an install.

Licensing

Licensing sets the expiration date for all Antivirus, Anti-Malware, and Endpoint Security client licenses purchased equal to the VSA maintenance expiration date.

• License Counts - Lists Antivirus license counts for servers and workstations. Licenses for servers and workstations are purchased and tracked separately. Antivirus license counts also display on the Administration > Manage > License Manage page.
  • Total Purchased to date
  • Full Available (Purchased not applied or expired)
  • Applied (Active license applied to a machine)
  • Expiration Date
  • # of Days Remaining - Days remaining before all licenses expire.

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. Also returns the install and database signature version information.
• Temporarily Enable Antivirus - Re-enables Antivirus protection on selected machines.
• Temporarily Disable Antivirus - Disables Antivirus protection on selected machines. Some software installations require Antivirus software be disabled to complete the install.
