Audit-On-Schedule

If you selected Not Scheduled in the previous step, these options don't appear.

Notifications

9.If you want to send notifications when this scheduled task executes, select one or more notifications from the Notifications list or the Console Notifications list.

The Notifications list contains the notifications created using the Notifications page in this application. If none of the existing notifications meet your needs, you can configure a new one by clicking the Edit Notifications link, which opens the Notifications page.

The Console Notifications list contains notifications created using the console application.

10.If you have Altiris Notification Server and you want to send information about the audits generated on this schedule to Notification Server, select Send a Notification Server Event. If you prefer to send this information after each target computer is audited, select Send a Notification Server Event for each target.

Hosts Not Connected Settings

11.If you want to enable Audit-on-Connect for any systems that could not be contacted on the first try, check the Enable host audit on connect box.

Between the initial connection failure and the next time the scheduled task runs, these systems get audited if they connect to the network. In this case, the task only completes

after all systems connect.

In order for this feature to work on a target system, you need to create an Audit-on- Connect scope that includes that system.

12.If you want to continue to attempt auditing systems that could not be contacted on the first try, check the Automatically re-audit devices that could not be contacted box.

A.In the Wait this Many Minutes Before Retries box, type the number of minutes you want the task to wait before attempting a reaudit after a failed connection. After each round of audits, the task waits this length of time before reauditing systems that weren't available the first time.

This gives the system time to make itself available for connection. If you suspect system restarts might cause failed connections, for example, enter a length of time longer than a restart would take.

B. If you want to set a time limit on how long the task can attempt reaudits, type the number of hours you want to allot for reaudits in the Attempt re-audit for this many hours after initial audit box.

A reaudit cycle could go on indefinitely if a system is off or never connects. Setting a time limit keeps the reaudit cycle from continuing indefinitely.

C. If you want to limit the amount of times the task can attempt to reaudit, type the number of reaudit attempts you'll allow in the Maximum number of attempts to re-audit box.
