Configure an On-Demand Scan

This scan configuration will be saved separately from the default scan now settings. You can run it from the CPM Dashboard anytime to initiate an On-Demand scan that uses the saved settings and applies to the selected computers.

  1. From the BigFix Console, click Endpoint Protection on the lower-left pane.
  2. From the upper-left navigation pane, go to Core Protection Module > Configuration > On-Demand Scan Settings > On-Demand Scan Settings Wizard. The On-Demand Scan Settings Wizard opens.
  3. Make your configurations choices.
  4. Click the Create Scan Now Task... button. The Create Task window opens.
  5. Edit the Name field and use the Description tab to edit it to clearly identify the scan parameters that you have selected and the computers you will target in this task.
  6. Select all the relevant computers from the Relevance tab and click OK.
  7. At the prompt, type your private key password and click OK.
  8. In the Action | Summary window that opens, monitor the "Status" and "Count" of the Action to confirm that it is "Running" and then "Completed."
