5.2 On-Demand Scan task
To create an On-demand scan task, first specify which client computers will apply the task (From a technical
perspective, there are minor differences in the scan task settings between generation 2.x and 3.x).
NOTE:
If the administrator enables
On-demand Scan task for Windows NOD32
and also
On-demand Scan task for Windows
ESET Security Product
, the same task can be used for both older and newer versions of the program. Select the option
Exclude
this section from On-Demand Scan
to disable dual compatibility.
To run an On-demand task on a client with ESET NOD32 version 2.x, please select
On-demand Scan task for
Windows NOD32 version 2
and proceed as follows:
•
Select the profile to be applied for the scan on the client (
Profile name
) – you can manually define a name not
present in the list.
•
Select which drives you wish to include in the scan (
Drives to scan
).
•
If need be, add a new profile or modify (
Edit
button) the existing configuration of the profile from the first step.
•
Select
Next
to proceed and select the clients to which the task will be applied.
•
Click
Finish
.
NOTE:
On-demand scanning on clients will apply the configuration of a chosen p configuration of the attached .xml
configuration (
Edit
button). The scanning profile is modified only temporarily while the task is performed.
The
Scan without cleaning
option refers to the options
Scan only
and
Scan and clean
in the NOD32 module in
ESET NOD32 Antivirus 2.x. The difference between these options is as follows:
•
Scan without cleaning
enabled
:
no action is taken with infected items if detected; scan creates a log.
•
Scan without cleaning
disabled: action taken corresponds to configuration defined for cleanable and
uncleanable threats.
If there are generation 3.x solutions present on client computers (ESET Smart Security or ESET NOD32 Antivirus),
then select
On-demand Scan task for Windows ESET Security Product
and follow these steps:
•
Select the profile to be applied for the scan on the client (
Profile name
) – you can manually define a name not
present in the list.
•
Select which drives you wish to include in the scan (
Drives to scan
), or specify your own targets (
Add path
).
•
Select
Next
to proceed and select the clients to which the task will be applied.
•
Click
Finish
5.3 Update Now task
To run an update task, first specify which client computers will apply the task (From a technical perspective, there
are minor differences in the scan task settings between generation 2.x and 3.x).
NOTE:
If the administrator enables
On-demand Scan task for Windows NOD32
and also
On-demand Scan task for Windows
ESET Security Product
, the same task can be used for both older and newer versions of the program. Select the option
Exclude
this section from On-Demand Scan
to disable dual compatibility.
The remaining steps are essentially the same for both program versions:
•
Select the profile to be applied for the scan on the client (
Profile name
) – you can manually define a name not
present in the list. Usually there is no need to define any profile (leave the
Specify profile name
option
disabled).
•
Select
Next
to proceed and select the clients to which the task will be applied.
•
Click
Finish
NOTE:
The client solutions (ESET NOD32 Antivirus, ESET Smart Security...) contain a default automatic regular update task.
The
Update Now
task is therefore only a complementary and one-shot feature.
