The software update packages are applied to the selected devices at the

Exporting and Importing Tasks

The export/import feature allows you to export the task configuration

information for the selected tasks in IT Assistant to an XML file. You can

import this file to a new network environment where IT Assistant is installed,

instead of recreating and reconfiguring the tasks.

NOTE: This feature is limited to Command Line tasks only.

Let us assume that Tom has created 10 command line tasks, out of which five

tasks are of interest to Jane. Instead of reconfiguring the five tasks, Tom can

export the five tasks to an XML file and send it to Jane through e-mail. Jane

can then import these tasks directly into IT Assistant, without having to

manually configure the tasks again.
