Clients set to run Scheduled Scan can have the privileges to postpone and skip/stop Scheduled Scan. To allow users to take advantage of these privileges, remind them about the privileges you have granted them by configuring OfficeScan to display a notification message before Scheduled Scan runs.
To display the notification message, go to Networked Computers > Client Management > Settings > Privileges and Other Settings > Other Settings tab > Scheduled Scan Settings and enable Display a notification before Scheduled Scan occurs.
The notification message display minutes before Scheduled Scan runs. To configure the number of minutes, go to Networked Computers > Global Client Settings > Scheduled Scan Settings > Remind users of the Scheduled Scan __ minutes before it runs.
Users with the "Postpone Scheduled Scan" privilege can perform the following actions:
Postpone Scheduled Scan before it runs and then specify the postpone duration. Scheduled Scan can only be postponed once.
If Scheduled Scan is in progress, users can stop scanning and restart it later. Users then specify the amount of time that should elapse before scanning restarts. When scanning restarts, all previously scanned files are scanned again. Scheduled Scan can be stopped and then restarted only once.
The minimum postpone duration/elapsed time users can specify is 15 minutes. The maximum is 12 hours and 45 minutes, which you can reduce by going to Networked Computers > Global Client Settings > Scheduled Scan Settings > Postpone Scheduled Scan for up to __ hours and __ minutes.
Enabling this option allows users to perform the following actions:
Skip Scheduled Scan before it runs
Stop Scheduled Scan when it is in progress
To postpone/skip and stop Scheduled Scan on the client computer:
If Scheduled Scan has not started:
Right-click the OfficeScan client icon on the system tray and select Scheduled Scan Advanced Settings.
Users do not need to perform this step if the notification message is enabled and is set to display minutes before Scheduled Scan runs.
On the notification window that displays, select from the following options:
Postpone scanning for __ hours and __ minutes.
Skip this Scheduled Scan. The next Scheduled Scan runs on <date> at <time>.
If Scheduled Scan is in progress:
Right-click the OfficeScan client icon on the system tray and select Scheduled Scan Advanced Settings.
On the notification window that displays, select from the following options:
Stop scanning. Restart the scan after __ hours and __ minutes.
Stop scanning. The next Scheduled Scan runs on <date> at <time>.
