<main> <article class="userContent"> <p><strong>PROBLEM</strong></p> <p>Kaspersky definitions files are physically kept in the <strong>UPDATER</strong> folder that is located in <kworking>\ kav directory.</p> <p>After migration to another <kworking> folder your shared <strong>UPDATER</strong> folder will physically remain in the previous location.

Otherwise all machines will be using the old location to update their definitions. To do so you need to remove your current SHARE by unchecking "Share this folder" option in the <strong>UPDATER </strong>folder properties:</p> <p> </p> <p><img src="/attachments/token/LAkk5HMuSoGpdLy2eiirA3VyB/?name=2015-03-17+10_30_10-7-2lite+%5BRunning%5D+-+Oracle+VM+VirtualBox.jpg" alt="2015-03-17_10_30_10-7-2lite__Running__-_Oracle_VM_VirtualBox.jpg" class="embedImage-img importedEmbed-img"></img></p> <p> </p> <p>Once it is done it can be verified by <strong>NET SHARE</strong> command again:</p> <p> </p> <p><img src="/attachments/token/hoA04j7iWFVe9h0g6iA5upkFO/?name=2015-03-17+10_35_03-7-2lite+%5BRunning%5D+-+Oracle+VM+VirtualBox.jpg" alt="2015-03-17_10_35_03-7-2lite__Running__-_Oracle_VM_VirtualBox.jpg" class="embedImage-img importedEmbed-img"></img></p> <p> </p> <p>After changing Working Directory to a new one (in my case C:\ABC > C:\XYZ) you need to reassign a KAV profile to your LANCACHE machine to recreate a new <strong>KAV</strong> folder and then run UPDATE definitions (from VSA) to create <strong>UPDATER</strong> folder (and accordingly <strong>KAVUpdater</strong> share) in a new <kworking> folder:</p> <p><img src="/attachments/token/QOC1OOHjINkA9Z3zN44nncsec/?name=2015-03-17+10_47_25-7-2lite+%5BRunning%5D+-+Oracle+VM+VirtualBox.jpg" alt="2015-03-17_10_47_25-7-2lite__Running__-_Oracle_VM_VirtualBox.jpg" class="embedImage-img importedEmbed-img"></img></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>There are no actions required on endpoint machines as they are checking logical location of definition updates, not physical:</p> <p><img src="/attachments/token/YRL3YGvrbjx9pNLRceXm1IYU3/?name=2015-03-17+11_25_27-7+%28Snapshot+2%29+%5BRunning%5D+-+Oracle+VM+VirtualBox.jpg" alt="2015-03-17_11_25_27-7__Snapshot_2___Running__-_Oracle_VM_VirtualBox.jpg" width="654" height="301" class="embedImage-img importedEmbed-img"></img></p> <p> </p> </article> </main>
