Missed scheduled scans, will they still run?

nduda78

If I have a scheduled scan using 9.x for a certain time, and that system is turned off during that time, will it run the scheduled scan when its powered on next?

    Hello deployed,

    Sophos uses the Windows task scheduler, there is no extra monitoring whether a scan has been run or missed. Therefore it is not possible to specify a conditional execution (apart from the fact that it is not as simple as it seems - consider a policy with two scans which both have been missed, which scan should be run a boot?).

    force them to wait

    You mean to lock the machine until the scan has been run (either at boot or on the next schedule) - or am I misinterpreting you? Considering the number of requests to delay updates at boot  I don't think that scan-on-boot will enjoy great popularity :smileyhappy:. May I ask why you think this is necessary?
