To check the health of Kaspersky Endpoint Security on a Windows Server 2016 domain controller, you can follow these steps:
Launch Kaspersky Endpoint Security: Open the Kaspersky Endpoint Security console on the Windows Server 2016 domain controller. You can typically find it in the Start menu or by searching for "Kaspersky Endpoint Security."
Check Protection Status: In the Kaspersky Endpoint Security console, look for the protection status or health status indicator. It should provide an overview of the current state of your system's protection. Ensure that the status is displayed as "Protected" or "Secure." If there are any issues or warnings, they will be highlighted in this section.
Update Kaspersky Endpoint Security: Check if your Kaspersky Endpoint Security installation is up to date. Look for an option to update the software within the console. It's important to keep your antivirus software updated to ensure it has the latest virus definitions and security patches.
Run a System Scan: Initiate a system scan within Kaspersky Endpoint Security to check for any malware or threats. You can typically find the scanning options in the console's navigation menu. Perform a full system scan to thoroughly examine all files and processes on the domain controller.
Review Event Logs: Check the event logs within the Kaspersky Endpoint Security console for any warnings, errors, or relevant information. The event logs can provide insights into the health and performance of the software, as well as any issues that might need attention.
Verify Real-Time Protection: Ensure that real-time protection is enabled and active on the domain controller. Real-time protection actively monitors files, processes, and network activity to detect and block any potential threats in real-time. Confirm that this feature is turned on and functioning properly.
Check Update Settings: Verify that the update settings in Kaspersky Endpoint Security are configured correctly. Ensure that the software is set to automatically update virus definitions and program modules. This ensures that your antivirus software is equipped with the latest protection against emerging threats.
Verify Exclusions and Policies: Check the configured exclusions and policies within Kaspersky Endpoint Security to ensure they align with your organization's requirements. Exclusions can be set for specific files, folders, or processes that should be excluded from scanning. Policies dictate the behavior and settings of the antivirus software.
If you encounter any specific issues or errors during the process, consult the Kaspersky Endpoint Security documentation, contact Kaspersky technical support, or consider seeking assistance from an IT professional experienced with Kaspersky products.
