Kaspersky Security for Windows Server 11.0.0.480 [MOVED]

[Lee Ogley]

I can see how to change the policy to be able to pause protection on Endpoint Security, but am unable to find a similar option for Kaspersky Security 11 for Windows Server.

 

I am having issues with Windows Update not installing on our Windows 2016 servers.  To rule out the antivirus I am wanting to pause protection, but cannot find how to to it.

 

Any advise would be appreciated.

You can pause it by stopping the service or installing the management console and stopping it there. I am interested to see what you find as I am seeing the same issue on 2016 Servers and being unable to install them with the new Server 11 security. I tried uninstalling Kaspersky even though and am still unable to install them since updating.

You can stop protection in the properties of the system in KSC:

Anyway: 

Your problem is a well known problem: https://community.kaspersky.com/fuer-unternehmen-deutschsprachiges-benutzer-forum-65/server2016-mit-ksws-keine-wsus-updates-mehr-12897

The solution given by support (google translation):

“Stop protection. Then open the command prompt as an administrator and enter the following:
sc config wuauserv binPath = "C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs"

This command changes the current value

%systemroot%\system32\svchost.exe -k wuausvcs
in
%systemroot%\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs

under regkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\wuauserv

Then restart the BITS and WU services and verify them.
If the problem persists, restart the device and check again.”
