Adding Security Servers to Management Console

To allow managing the application, the protected servers must be added to Management Console.

If the Security Servers are installed on Microsoft Exchange servers included in a Microsoft Exchange database availability group (DAG), you can connect Management Console to any of those Security Servers in order to define the settings shared by the entire DAG, or connect Management Console to an individual Security Server in order to define its own settings.

Shared settings of the entire DAG include, e.g., the anti-virus protection settings for the Mailbox role, the Anti-Virus reporting settings for the Mailbox role, the notification settings, and the update settings of Anti-Virus databases. The entire DAG also shares the contents of Backup and the key.

Examples of individual settings of the Microsoft Exchange Server include: anti-virus protection settings for the Hub Transport role, anti-spam scan settings, Backup settings, settings of the Anti-Spam and Anti-Virus reports for the Hub Transport role, and Anti-Spam database update settings.

To add a Security Server to Management Console:

1. Select the Kaspersky Security 9.0 for Microsoft Exchange Servers node in the Management Console tree.
2. Open the Add server window in one of the following ways:
   • By selecting the Add server item in the Action menu;
   • By selecting the Add server item in the context menu of the Kaspersky Security 9.0 for Microsoft Exchange Servers node.
   • By clicking the Add server button in the workspace of the node.
   • Click the Add server link in the quick access bar.
3. In the Add server window, select the Security Server deployed on the Microsoft Exchange server, to which you want to connect the Management Console:
   • If you want to connect the Management Console to a Security Server deployed on a local computer, choose the Local option.
   • If you want to connect the Management Console to a Security Server deployed on a remote Microsoft Exchange Server, choose the Remote option.

     Management Console connects to the Security Server via TCP port 13100. You have to open this port in the firewall on the remote Microsoft Exchange server or add the service of Kaspersky Security 9.0 for Microsoft Exchange Servers to the list of trusted applications of the firewall.

4. If you have chosen the Remote option, in the entry field specify the name of the remote Microsoft Exchange Server on which the Security Server is deployed. You can select the remote Microsoft Exchange server from the list by clicking the Browse button or by typing manually one of the values for the remote Microsoft Exchange server:
   • IP address
   • Fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) in the format <Computer name>.<DNS-domain name>
   • the computer name in the Microsoft Windows network (NetBIOS name).
5. Click the OK button.

The added Security Server appears in the Management Console tree.

The Security Servers that have been added are displayed in the Management Console tree as separate nodes. To proceed to the management of a Security Server, you should expand the corresponding node.

You can also manage a group of Security Servers using profiles.
