  • 1.  Delete manually created schedule scan

    Posted Aug 04, 2009 04:09 PM

    Is there an option to delete a manually created schedule scan from SEPM remotely? Because We are planning to enforce an schedule scan on our environment, I'm just worrying if I created an schedule scan and SEP client has already an schedule scan which is created manually, it might having a conflict or having a multiple instances of scanning if we cannot remove the manual scan schedule, I want to implement an stardard time of scanning for evey dept. any help on this

    How to schedule a scan from the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager console

    http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-security.nsf/docid/2008101415193348

    Open the SEPM console
    Go to the Policies page, or select the appropriate group in the Clients page and select the Policies tab there
    Edit the desired Antivirus and Antispyware policy
    Select and modify Administrator-defined scans in the policy editor .Delete if you want

    I would suggest posting this in the Ideas forum. 


    EDIT: scans are stored in the registry, user defined ones in HKEY_CURRENT_USER. It shouldn't be too difficult to write a logon script removing them.

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\AV\Custom Tasks\{GUID VALUE}

    HI prachand I already know how to create an schedule scan but the issue here is removing the schedule scan added by user.

    I went into SEPM, clicked on the group the affected user was in, clicked on the policies tab, went into administrator defined scans, then advanced, and UNCHECKED "Allow user-defined scheduled scans to run when scan author is not logged on"  This will keep scans that other users (who may no longer be there) have scheduled from running.  Hope this helps!
