12.5.1 Adding tasks

You can add tasks to the list in the Tasks view in the Distribution (ITDM-compatible) module. Adding tasks allows you to install software on, distribute files to, or uninstall software from target computers.

Note that to create package distribution tasks, you need to create in advance packages in which software or files to be distributed are registered. For details about how to create packages, see 12.4.1 Adding packages.

To add tasks:

1. Display the Distribution (ITDM-compatible) module.

2. In the menu area, select Tasks and then Task List.

3. In the information area, click the Add Package Distribution Task or Add Uninstallation Task button.

4. In the displayed dialog box, type the task information, and then click OK.

Tasks are added and displayed in the Package List.

Tip

Tasks executed by Auto Enforce are created when Auto Enforce for Windows Update, mandatory software, or prohibited software are set in the Security Policy.

Tip

Uninstallation tasks can also be created by setting prohibited software in the Software Details view in the Inventory module.

Tip

To add a task based on a task that is already registered, copy the registered task.
