Scheduling the Find vulnerabilities and required updates task

The Quick Start Wizard creates the Find vulnerabilities and required updates task for Network Agent. By default, the task is assigned a Run on Tuesdays at 7:00 PM schedule with automatic randomization, and the Run missed tasks check box is selected.

If the organization's workplace rules provide for shutting down all devices at this time, the Find vulnerabilities and required updates task will run after the devices are turned on again, that is, on Wednesday morning. Such activity may be undesirable because a vulnerability scan may increase the load on CPUs and disk subsystems. You must set up the most convenient schedule for the task based on the workplace rules adopted in the organization.
