Improving Scanning Scheduling for Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager
Created: 11 Aug 2011 | 5 comments
Up until version SEP 11 mr6mp2 the scanning schedule was rather limited. (not sure about 12.1 as i didn't check that yet) There was no option for example to schedule scanning on the first Monday of the month.
This would be usefull for file servers that have huge amounts of data.
Perhaps SEP can borrow the scheduler from backup exec which is significantly more sophisticated.

I am also missing this function. We would like the possibility to schedule full scans for clients to ex 2nd Tuesday every month and the servers to every 1st Sunday in the month. Make it more similar to Windows Task Scheduler.
Some granular schedule options would help for sure to improve the whole setting for Scans
This will definitely help us.
This option would be very helpful and welcome in the future release - some more configuration possibilities are definitely needed in the scheduler.
What can I say, I'm shocked. First off, why is endpoint NOT using the standard windows scheduler?
It takes almost 2 days for my scan to complete. That's two days of my computer performing slowly. I think a simple solution would be to schedule it to run every weekend instead at the start of every month. But that's not really an option.
Would you like to reply?
