Missed scheduled scans, will they still run?

Question

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? :1762

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? Christian :44977
