  • 1.  Start a schedule scan before the time scheduled..

    Posted Oct 02, 2009 08:39 AM
    Hi all !

    I have a scheduled scan every friday at 12:45...

    I would like to know if it's possible to use the " Scan Now" Option on the GUI Endpoint to run the scan before this schedule ..
    For example, if a user go to lunch at 12:00 he can use the Scan Now Option, to start the scan directly when his computer it's not used...

    I tryed, but if i do that, the scan run normally, But  when he finished the forced scan and when the scheduld time arrived the scan running again ..

    Is it possible to fix that ?

    Thanks a lot !

    Hi,

           Since you have scheduled a scan it will be executed. The run scan now is an option in case you feel that you need to scan the machine out of the scan schedule.

    Yes I understand the utilisation of the Scan Now Option .. But If i run the Scan now option 10 minute before the Scheduled scan , When the first scan will be finished, the second ( the scheduled) will be launch directly ...)

    For the user it will be wonderfull to launch the scan just when they live the office to take a lunch ..
