Configuring the task schedule

Scheduling tasks

You have the option to schedule on-demand, AutoUpdate, and mirror tasks to run at specific

dates and times, or intervals. The way you schedule tasks depends on the user interface console

you use.

To schedule these tasks:

• ePolicy Orchestrator console — Use the Schedule tab to display the Schedule page.

• VirusScan Console — Use the Schedule button to display the Schedule dialog box.

Configuring the task schedule

To configure a task to run at a specified time or interval, use the Schedule Settings dialog box.

Before you begin

You must have administrator rights to schedule the task. Administrator rights provide the user

with write access to the scheduled task’s registry key.

To schedule a task, click Schedule in the task’s properties dialog box.

CAUTION: McAfee recommends scheduling on-demand scans at minimum intervals.

Recommended McAfee minimum intervals:

• Daily — Only if you have had a major malware outbreak.

• Weekly — Recommended.

• Monthly — Acceptable.

• Quarterly — The bare minimum.
