5.1 Tasks
Client workstations that are correctly connected to ERAS and displayed in ERAC can be configured and administered
using various types of tasks.
The general workflow below applies for all tasks described in the following sub-chapters except the
Interactive Task
(see the chapter for an explanation of the workflow).
Stage I -
New Task
Tasks can be applied to multiple clients, or to one or more groups of clients.
1) To apply a task to one or more client workstations, select and right-click the workstations in the
Clients
pane.
2) Click
New Task
and select the type of task you wish to perform.
NOTE:
Alternatively, the task wizard can be opened from the ERAC main menu by clicking
Actions > New Task
.
Stage II - Select one of the following tasks:
Configuration Task
On-demand Scan (Cleaning Disabled)
On-demand Scan (Cleaning Enabled)
Update Now
SysInspector Script Task
Restore/Delete From Quarantine Task
Generate Security Audit Log
Show Notification
3) After choosing the desired task you will have to perform the task-specific actions described in each of the chapters
(see links above).
Stage III -
Select Clients
4) You can modify your client selections in the
Select Clients
window, which will appear once you have set up the task.
You can refine your client selection by adding clients from the
All items
client overview tree (left half of the window)
to the
Selected items
list (right half of the window) or by removing the client entries that are already on the list.
NOTE:
Click
Add Special ...
to open a new window in which you can add clients from the
Clients pane
or add clients
by
Server
and/or
Groups
.
Stage IV -
Task Report, Finish
5) The last dialog window,
Task Report
shows a preview of the configuration task. Enter a name or description for the
task (optional). The
Apply task after
option can be used to set the task to run after a specified date/time. The
Delete
tasks automatically by cleanup if successfully completed
option deletes all tasks which have been successfully
delivered to target workstations.
6) Click
Finish
to register the task to run.
The following subchapters outline the individual types of tasks for client workstations, with an accompanying example
scenario for each task type.
