Hi,
I've just set up a new EPO 5.10 server (moving over to it from an old EPO 5.1 server) and i'm having a problem getting the ENS ODS Quick Scans to run. I've got 9 test machines in the same folder in the system tree and the scan is scheduled to run at every day at 12:45
My laptop is one of the test systems and the Quick Scan is running - however, I've just noticed the Quick Scan isn't running on any of the other systems. There is nothing different about my system that should be affecting this, and the Quick Scans worked OK on the old EPO server.
There is no tag criteria on the task - all systems should run the task and the machines have been installed for several days, so the policies will have been pushed multiple times.
If i select a system and click on the Applied Current Tasks tab then i can see the Quick Scan task on the system, but it isn't running. I've checked the report ENS TP: Duration of Completed Quick Scans and it only shows my system as having done i scan and i've checked on systems manually and they don;t show the Quick Scan as ever running.
Software versions are Agent 5.6.1.298, ENS 10.6.1.1638
Thanks in advance
Solved! Go to Solution.
The masvc log on the client will show it getting the task and invoking it (or failing to). The macompatsvc log will show if there are any issues with agent communicating with ens, which could cause the task to try to invoke, but fail due to issues with point product. They are located in c:\programdata\mcafee\agent\logs folder on the client. Alternatively, you can try creating a new task and assigning it instead - sometimes a task might get corrupted somewhere along the line, client or server side.

If you schedule a task with a specific time, and you don't enable the 'Run Missed Task' option, the task will not run if the system is not alive at the exact moment. If the users shut down or hybernate their systems at that time the task will never run.
I would suggest adding the 'Run Missed Task' option in the client task assignment, or changing the schedule to 'Run Immediately' just for testing purposes. On the next day, you should be able to see the scan logs if the systems connected to the ePO in the meantime.

Thanks for the replies,
Run Missed Task didn't seem to make a difference, but i checked the logs and noticed the logs were reporting the scan tasks being invoked, but there was never any scan completed messages (either success or fail).
As suggested, I've deleted the scan tasks and created new ones and they seems to be running and completing now so i think the problem is resolved.
Glad it is working!

I do not see the c:\programdata\mcafee\agent\logs folder on any of my client machines?
Programdata is a hidden folder. You won't see it unless you either past the full path in windows explorer address bar, or in folder options, show hidden folders.
