Managing Tasks
Tasks allow you to schedule Normal Servers to perform multiple functions
simultaneously. Using tasks automates routine antivirus maintenance procedures on
your network and improves the management of your antivirus policy.
You can define a task to run several procedures at one time in the same manner as
macros automate word processing programs, or scripts automate routine network
administration tasks
Tasks are assigned to a ’task owner’ who is responsible for maintaining the task.
ServerProtect Task Wizard
The ServerProtect Task Wizard provides an intuitive interface for you to easily define
a task. You can include the following functions in a task:
• Real-time Scan setting: Enable different Real-time Scan options for different
tasks, for example, scanning incoming files only when network performance is
normal
• Scan Now: Check whether your server is virus-free
• Purge logs: Define which types of logs to purge from the database. You can enable
the automatic purging of virus logs that are older than a preset age.
• Export logs: Export logs as CSV files for use in other applications
• Print logs: Choose a network printer to print logs that meet a certain criteria
• Run statistics: Compile and display statistics about virus scanning on your server
• Deploy: Define when to distribute the updates of virus patterns, scan engines or
program components to other ServerProtect servers
