Schedule a One Time Task

Any Task e.g., Restart, Shutdown, Installation of an App or Script can be scheduled as a one time task. This example demonstrates how to do this using the Applications tab, but note that this scheduling functionality is available in the Windows Updates, OS Deployment, Anti-Virus, and Inventory tabs too.

1. Select the Control Grid tab on the top menu bar.

2. Navigate to the Applications tab.

3. Select a Computer (to run a Task on) or a Script to Run. In this example a computer is selected to schedule a recurring restart task. The Action toolbar will now open on the right of the screen.

4. Click the RESTART button.

5. Click the OPTIONS button.

6. Enter a Schedule Name for the scheduled task.

7. Select a Start Time and Start Date.

8. Configure the Run if computer comes online within setting, either select the number of days between 1 and 30 or number of hours between 1 and 24.

If a task cannot be initiated at the scheduled task time, it will be attempted during the Run if computer comes online within period (either hours or days depending on how it is configured).

9. Select the One Time option.

10. Optional: Add any conditions.

11. Optional: Add an advanced option - for this task the only advanced option available is to allow the user to defer the restart. Check this box if you wish to allow the user to defer.

12. Click the SCHEDULE button.

The one time restart computer task has been scheduled successfully.
