Tasks

You can use tasks to manage the ESET PROTECT server, client computers, and ESET products. Tasks can automate routine jobs. Task targets can be individual computers and groups.

Tasks enable you to assign specific procedures to individual clients or groups of clients.

In addition to the icon_tasks Tasks window, you can create tasks from context menus in device_default Computers. To see the status of executed tasks, click icon_tasks Tasks, and observe whether tasks have finished successfully.
