Step 8. Configuring update management

Expand all | Collapse all

Configure the settings for managing updates of applications installed on client devices.

You can configure these settings only if you have provided a license key with the Vulnerabilities and Patch management option.

In the Search for updates and install them group of settings, you can select a mode of Kaspersky Security Center update search and installation:

• Search for required updates

  The Find vulnerabilities and required updates task is created automatically, if you do not have one.

  This option is selected by default.

• Find and install required updates

  The Find vulnerabilities and required updates and Install required updates and fix vulnerabilities tasks are created automatically, if you do not have ones.

In the Windows Server Update Services group of settings, you can select the update synchronization source:

• Use update sources defined in the domain policy

  Client devices will download Windows Update updates according to your domain policy settings. Network Agent policy is created automatically, if you do not have one.

• Use Administration Server as a WSUS server

  Client devices will download Windows Update updates from the Administration Server. The Perform Windows Update synchronization task and Network Agent policy are created automatically, if you do not have ones.

If you prefer not to run the Quick Start Wizard, create the Find vulnerabilities and required updates and Install required updates and fix vulnerabilities tasks later. To use Administration Server as the WSUS server, create the Perform Windows Update synchronization task, and then select the Use Administration Server as a WSUS server option in the Network Agent policy.
