Managing the application using Kaspersky Administration Kit

6.3.1.2. Creating a group task

To create a group task for Kaspersky Anti-Virus, you should perform the
following actions:
1. In the console tree, select the group of computers the new task will be
applied to.
2. Select the Group tasks folder within this group, open the shortcut
menu, and select the New/Task command. You can also select this
command in the Action menu. A wizard for creating a new group task
that will guide you through the creation process will appear. The wizard
is organized similarly to the local task wizard (see section 6.3.1.1 on
page 157).
After the task is created, it will be added to the Group tasks folder for the
selected group and all nested groups and displayed on the results panel.

6.3.1.3. Creating a global task

To create a global task for Kaspersky Anti-Virus, you should perform
the following actions:
1. In the console tree, select the Global tasks node, open the shortcut
menu, and select the New→Task command. You can also select
this command in the Action menu.
2. A wizard for creating a new global task that will guide you through
the creation procedure will appear. The wizard is organized similarly
to the local task wizard (see section 6.3.1.1 on page 157 about the
local task wizard). The only difference is that you should define a list
of client computers on the logical network for this global task.
3. Select the desired computers on the logical network that the new
task will be assigned to. You can either select computers from
different folders or select the entire folder (for more details, see the
Reference Guide for Kaspersky Administration Kit 5.0).
Global tasks are applied only to the specified set of computers.
For example, the remote installation task assigned to a group will
not be performed on new client computers added to this group.
You will have to create a new task or make appropriate changes
to the existing task.
