About scheduling routine security checks

Use the Schedule window to schedule and routinely run key security checks. To access the Schedule window, do the following:

Click the Policy Run wizard icon on the console toolbar.
Click Next until you reach the Schedule panel, and then click Schedule.

Alternatively, do the following:

Right-click a policy.
Drag the policy from the policies branch and drop it on the agent computer or manager domain in the summary branch.

This feature automatically initiates policy runs on agents at predetermined intervals and provides a security-status report. Symantec ESM can notify security officers and system administrators by sending an email message when a policy run completes. The message includes the security level and average score from the run.
