Configuring ePolicy Orchestrator server tasks
Server tasks, configured in ePolicy Orchestrator, allow you to schedule and run automatic tasks
to manage your server and the VirusScan Enterprise software.
VirusScan Enterprise server tasks can be configured to automatically generate the following:
• Export Policies — Runs a policy report and stores the policy information in a file.
• Run Query — Runs a preconfigured query and, if configured, displays the output on the
ePolicy Orchestrator dashboard.
• Export Queries — Runs a preconfigured query and either emails the report to a configured
address or exports the report to a configured location.
NOTE: The Export Queries feature is only avalable using ePolicy Orchestrator 4.5 and 4.6.
The ePolicy Orchestrator server has the following VirusScan Enterprise server tasks already
installed:
• VSE: Compliance Over the Last 30 Days — Runs a query once a day, which stores
McAfee anti-virus software compliance status.
• VSE: DAT Adoption Over the Last 24 Hours — Runs a query every hour, which stores
McAfee anti-virus software DAT version status.
NOTE: To configure custom server tasks, see the appropriate ePolicy Orchestrator product guide
for detailed instruction.
