The Delete not connecting computers task allows you to remove computers according to specified criteria. For example, if the ESET Management Agent on a client computer has not connected for 30 days, it can be removed from ESET PROTECT Web Console.

Navigate to Computers. Last Connected displays the date and time of last connection of the managed device. A green dot indicates that the computer connected less than 10 minutes ago. The Last Connected information gets highlighted to indicate that the computer is not connecting:

o Yellow (warning)—computer is not connecting for 2–14 days.

oRed (error)—computer is not connecting for more than 14 days.

To create a new Server Task, click Tasks > Add > Server Task or select the desired task type from the tree and click Add > Server Task.

## Basic

In the Basic section, type basic information about the task, such as a Name and Description (optional). Click Select tags to assign tags.
In the Task drop-down menu, select the task type you want to create and configure. If you have selected a specific task type before creating a new task, Task is pre-selected based on your previous choice. Task (see the list of all Tasks) defines the settings and the behavior for the task.
