Configuring a Scheduled Vulnerability Scan

Vulnerability scans automatically run according to a schedule.

  1. Launch Vulnerability Scanner.

    To Launch Vulnerability Scanner On:

    Steps

    The Security Server

    1. Navigate to <Server installation folder>\PCCSRV\Admin\Utility\TMVS.

    2. Double-click TMVS.exe.

    A client on the network

    1. On the Security Server, navigate to <Server installation folder>\PCCSRV\Admin\Utility.

    2. Copy the TMVS folder to the other client.

    3. On the other client, open the TMVS folder and then double-click TMVS.exe.
  2. Go to the Scheduled Scan section.
  3. Click Add/Edit.

    The Scheduled Scan screen appears.

  4. Type a name for the scheduled vulnerability scan.
  5. Type the IP address range of the computers you want to check.
    1. Type an IPv4 address range.
      Note:

      Vulnerability Scanner can only query an IPv4 address range if it runs on a pure IPv4 or dual-stack host machine that has an available IPv4 address. Vulnerability Scanner only supports a class B IP address range, for example, 168.212.1.1 to 168.212.254.254.

    2. For an IPv6 address range, type the IPv6 prefix and length.
      Note:

      Vulnerability Scanner can only query an IPv6 address range if it runs on a pure IPv6 or dual-stack host machine that has an available IPv6 address.

  6. Specify the start time using the 24-hour clock format and then select how often the scan will run. Choose from daily, weekly, or monthly.
  7. Select Use current settings if you have configured and want to use manual vulnerability scan settings. For details about manual vulnerability scan settings, see Running a Manual Vulnerability Scan.

    If you did not specify manual vulnerability scan settings or if you want to use another set of settings, select Modify settings and then click Settings. The Settings screen appears. Configure scan settings and then click OK. For details, see Vulnerability Scan Settings.

  8. Click OK.

    The Scheduled Scan screen closes. The scheduled vulnerability scan you created appears under the Scheduled Scan section. If you enabled notifications, Vulnerability Scanner sends you the scheduled vulnerability scan results.

  9. To execute the scheduled vulnerability scan immediately, click Run Now.

    The vulnerability scan results appear in the Results table under the Scheduled Scan tab.

    Note:

    MAC address information does not display in the Results table if the computer runs Windows Server 2008.

  10. To save the results to a comma-separated value (CSV) file, click Export, locate the folder where you want to save the file, type the file name, and click Save.
  11. To stop running scheduled vulnerability scans, go to the Scheduled Scans section, select the scheduled scan, and click Delete.
