When assigning a client task to systems in the System Tree, you can schedule them to run based on various intervals such as Daily, Weekly, and Monthly.
On the Client Task Assignment Builder page, configure whether a task runs on a schedule.
If you disable scheduling, you must run the task from the → page by clicking → → .
Note
Run Client Task Now is not available on McAfee ePO Cloud.
Client tasks can be scheduled to run at these intervals:
Daily — Specifies that the task runs every day at a specific time, on a recurring basis between two times of the day, or a combination of both.
Weekly — Specifies that the task runs on a weekly basis. Such a task can be scheduled to run on a specific weekday, all weekdays, weekends, or a combination of days. You can schedule a task to run at a specific time on the selected days, or on a recurring basis between two times on the selected days.
Monthly — Specifies that the task runs on a monthly basis. Such a task can be scheduled to run on one or more specific days or weekdays of each month at a specific time.
Once — Starts the task on the time and date you specify.
At System Startup — Starts the task the next time you start the client.
At logon — Starts the task the next time you log on to the client.
Run immediately — Starts the task immediately.
Note
After the task is run for the first time, it will not run again.
Also you can:
Configure the start and end dates when the client task is available or unavailable to run at the scheduled intervals.
Specify the time when the task begins.
Specify whether to run the task only once at the Start time, or to continue running until a later time. You can also specify the interval when the task runs during this interval.
Specify whether the task runs at the local time on the managed system or Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
Configure task behavior and what happens if the task runs too long, or whether the task runs if it was missed.
Specify whether to run the task randomly in a specific interval.
