Feature Request: Run scheduled scans after start is missed.

RFI

Hi,

we've Sophos Endpoint Security and Control 10.3 running in a very large and distributed environment (3000+ machines). Not all of our computers do run at the time we configured a scheduled scan - as there are people that  e.g. work only 4 days a week. Sophos AV currently don't care - so we've a lot of machines that does not meet our compliance requirements.

Would it be possible to add an administrative option like 'Run task after scheduled start is missed'?

BTW: Such an option even exists Windows Task Scheduler - so it cant be hard to create and would surly help a lot of companies.

Cheers,
RFI

    In case it's of use: The command to run a standard scan is:
    64-bit:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus\BackgroundScanClient.exe" {F86EBCD5-687E-40B1-800D-021062361F6C}
    32-bit:
    "C:\Program Files\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus\BackgroundScanClient.exe" {F86EBCD5-687E-40B1-800D-021062361F6C}

    So you could always manually create a task using the Windows UI, setting any options you wish to run this as and when required.

    If needed, the task could be exported to XML, e.g. template.xml and then imported using:
    schtasks /create /TN "Sophos Custom Scan" /xml "C:\template.xml" .....
    if you need to automate the creation.

    May offer something.
