How do I remove/configure Scheduled Tasks On My Workstations through ESET Smart Security Remote Administrator?

The Remote Administrator Server program allows an administrator to deploy and manage configuration changes of ESET Smart Security across multiple computers. Examples of these configuration changes include updating client workstation username/passwords, installing the latest virus signature updates, or configuring/removing scheduled tasks.



In order to configure or remove a Scheduled Task from all workstations through the Remote Administrator, you must first alter the Scheduled Task configuration on one of the workstations. Once you have manually configured one workstation, return to the computer that has the Remote Administrator installed and follow the steps below:





1. Open the Remote Administrator Console (RAC) by clicking Start → All Programs → Eset → Eset Remote Administrator Console. Click on the Clients tab at the bottom left of the RAC window.


2. The workstations on the network will be displayed in the Client name column on the left. Find the workstation that you have configured the Scheduled Tasks on, right-click on it and select Configuration (See Fig. 1-1 below).

3. The Client Properties window will be displayed. As soon as the status bar reads "Configuration Downloaded 100%", deselect the box that reads Then Run NOD32 Configuration Editor to edit the file. Then, click the Save As button (See Fig. 1-2 below).

4. Enter a name for your .xml configuration task and click OK. Click OK again to return to the RAC Clients window.


5. Highlight all workstations that you want that configuration to apply to, and then right-click on the selections. Click New Task → Configuration Task.


6. The Configuration for Clients window will be displayed. Click the Select button and then double-click on the .xml file that you saved earlier. Click Next twice.

The next time that your workstations check in with the Remote Administration Server, they will receive the new Scheduled Tasks.
