Change Tasks Password Wizard
For a non-local task, you can specify an account under which the task must be run. You can specify the account during task creation or in the properties of an existing task. If the specified account is used in accordance with security instructions of the organization, these instructions might require changing the account password from time to time. When the account password expires and you set a new one, the tasks will not start until you specify the new valid password in the task properties.
The Change Tasks Password Wizard enables you to automatically replace the old password with the new one in all tasks in which the account is specified. Alternatively, you can do it manually in the properties of each task.
To start the Change Tasks Password Wizard:
- In the console tree, select the Tasks node.
- In the context menu of the node, select Change Tasks Password Wizard.
Follow the instructions of the Wizard.
Step 1. Specifying credentials
In the Account and Password fields, specify new credentials that are currently valid in your system (for example, in Active Directory). When you switch to the next step of the wizard, Kaspersky Security Center checks if the specified account name matches the account name in the properties of each non-local task. If the account names match, the password in the task properties will be automatically replaced with the new one.
If you fill in the Old password (optional) field, Kaspersky Security Center replaces the password only for those tasks in which both the account name and the old password are found. The replacement is performed automatically. In all other cases you have to choose an action to take in the next step of the wizard.
Step 2. Selecting an action to take
If you have not specified the old password on the first step of the Wizard or the specified old password has not matched the passwords in the tasks, you need to choose an action to take for the found tasks.
For each task that has the Approval required status, decide whether you want to remove the password in the task properties or replace it with the new one. If you choose to remove the password, the task is switched to run under the default account.
Step 3. Viewing the results
On the last step of the Wizard, view the results for each of the found task. To complete the Wizard, click the Finish button.
