At this step, configure the full scan task run mode:
Scheduled start. Choose the task run mode in the drop-down list. The settings displayed in the window depend on the task run mode chosen.
Run skipped tasks. If this check box is selected, an attempt to start the task is made the next time the application is started on the SVM. In the Manually and Once modes, the task is started as soon as an SVM appears on the network.
If this check box is cleared, the task is started on an SVM by schedule only, and in Manually and Once modes it is started only on the SVMs that are visible on the network.
Define task launch delay automatically. By default, the time of task start on SVMs is randomized with the scope of a certain time period. This period is calculated automatically depending on the number of SVMs covered by the task:
0–200 SVMs – task start is not randomized
200-500 SVMs – task start is randomized within the scope of 5 minutes
500-1000 SVMs – task start is randomized within the scope of 10 minutes
1000-2000 SVMs – task start is randomized within the scope of 15 minutes
2000-5000 SVMs – task start is randomized within the scope of 20 minutes
5000-10000 SVMs – task start is randomized within the scope of 30 minutes
10000–20000 SVMs – task start is randomized within the scope of 1 hour
20000–50000 SVMs – task start is randomized within the scope of 2 hours
over 50000 SVMs – task start is randomized within the scope of 3 hours
If you do not need to randomize the time of task start within the scope of an automatically calculated time period, clear the Define task launch delay automatically check box. This check box is selected by default.
Randomize the task run with interval (min). If you want the task to start at a random time within a specified period of time after the scheduled task start, select this check box. In the text box, enter the maximum task start delay. In this case, the task starts at a random time within the specified period of time after the scheduled start. This check box can be changed if the Define task launch delay automatically check box is cleared.
Randomized task start times help prevent situations in which a large number of SVMs contact the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server at the same time.
