Full System Scan indicator

AlexM

Hi guys,

New to the forum and have a question regarding system console 4.0 and full system scanning.

Right-clicking on a workstation and selecting "Full System Scan..." you need to click OK on the pop-up to proceed. My issue is that once you click on OK  there is no indictor on the console that a scan is running on that workstation. Is there a way to enable this or is this a limitation with the product?

R/Alex

    Agreed! A progress indicator would be nice to have. Due to this shortcoming I came up with a homebrew solution: I had to create a separate "Started" container in for each school in which I move all computers where I started a full scan. Else it's impossible to keep track of which computers have been scanned, are scanning and have not been full scanned at all.

    Full scanning as far as I understood from digging in the documentation/KBs also has the nice side-effect of checksumming all files and keeping a cache of it... thus enabling subsequent future scans to be much faster.

    It would also be very helpful if there was a column which shows the "Last Full (or Scheduled) Scan completed" date. Due to the lack of this I had to create a YYYY-MM folder for each school where I put all full scanned computers.
