Schedule an On-Demand Scan

A scheduled scan runs automatically according to the schedule you set. Although it is shown in the CPM for Mac Dashboard along with any other On-Demand scans, you do not need to trigger it.

1. Go to Endpoint Protection > Core Protection Module > Configuration > On-Demand Scan Settings.
2. Double-click the previously defined [scan name] in the upper-right pane to open the scan configuration.
3. Below Actions, click the hyperlink to open the Take Action window.
4. In the Take Action window, click the Execution tab (see the following figure).
   • Choose a Start date, and optionally, configure the days that you want the scan to run in the Run only on field.
   • Select Reapply this action while relevant, waiting 2 days between reapplications (choosing whatever time period suits you).

     WARNING! Do not select “whenever it becomes relevant again" or the scan might run continuously.

   • If you want to let users initiate the scan, click the Offer tab and select Make this action an offer.
   • Click any of the other tabs to modify the trigger time and applicable users.

   

5. Select all the relevant computers and click OK.
6. At the prompt, type your private key password and click OK.
7. In the Action | Summary window that opens, monitor the "Status" and "Count" of the Action to confirm that it is "Running" and then "Completed."
