Delete manually created schedule scan remotely
Created: 05 Aug 2009 | 6 comments
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 standard time of scanning for evey dept. if the feature is not yet available I suggest that if possible please include this in the latest build of SEP. thanks

Scanning
I agree that you should be able to lock that option from the SEPM.
Granted there is no real negative to having an end user run thier own scan; except the preformance issues that the customer will have when it is running.
But I do think that is a needed option for the SEPM to have.

conflict
I believe that what would happen is that when the earlier scan starts, it will finish. Then the other scan will start. You won't have 2 scans going at the same time. I to agree that you should have the ability to interact with the user side scans.
This would be a good option
This would be a good option, however until something like this is implemented there is an option within the AntiVirus and AntiSpyware policy to not allow user defined scans to run when scan author is not logged in. This at least keeps other users' scheduled scans from running when a different user is logged in. As mentioned above, there would not be an issue with multiple scans running at the same time. If an Administrator defined scan does not run due to a user scheduled scan currently running, provided you have configured the missed scan retry interval for the Administrator defined scan, that scan should start shortly after the user scan completes.

I believe this to be accurate.
Its a good option..
I also agree with this.... In some situation we need to delete custom scans.
