I can set various parameters for the scan tasks but cannot figure out how to set a scan to occur at a certain time/day. This is with KAV6 for Windows Server using the admin kit. I'd like to have them all scan themselves every 7 days (see that) but have it occur on a weekend and at night to not impact business hour use. Is there a way to schedule a simple scan with such detail as day-of-week and/or time-of-day?

In Admin Kit create new Task. Choose application 'Kaspersy Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Server' and Task type 'Virus Scan'. Then you could schedule Scan task.

Thanks for the reply, but i was hoping to get a scan done every weekend so that I can be sure it will finish before the business day starts (6AM local time).

I've attached a screenshot of the window I am using, can I cannot control WHICH day of the week this happens?

I should add that this feature is available on the workstation version, I can select weekly and specify both the day of the week and the time of the day.

Use "weekly" schedule type and set for example Saturday in schedule params.

Look at the screenshot I posted. There's no setting for which day of the week that I can find. i did find that setting on workstation, just not on server.

Right now I'm guessing I'll do it daily and tell it to only scan new or changed files so that the scan will finish within the weeknight time frame (between close and open for the office). Since two servers have ~0.75TB with some rather large files I do not see a full scan finishing within the window, particularly if I try to schedule around backups (which do not run on Sat/Sun).

Anyone have other ideas I'm open.

So using the drop down from "Daily" (shown in your screenshot) to "Weekly" does not work?

Yes, that works but I cannot choose WHICH day of the week to run it on.

this what edbert means (attached), hmmm.. i think if you want to do a on demand scan task on e.g. mon, wed and frid only, you just have to create again a on demand scan task-- set it to daily, 1 scan task for monday, another scan task for wed and so on so forth. b_punk.gif
