Server tasks

Server tasks are any item that is scheduled to run on the McAfee ePO server itself. Using server tasks

properly can significantly improve efficiency in your organization.

Server tasks automate many of the common items you performed on a daily or weekly basis manually.

Server tasks are automatically added as new extensions are added to ePolicy Orchestrator. For

example, encryption related server tasks appear when the encryption extension is installed. This

means ePolicy Orchestrator is configured around the components you actually manage instead of

having options for products you never use. Some common server tasks include:

• Performing an action using the results of a query

• Emailing and exporting reports automatically on a regular basis

• Pulling and replicating content automatically from the McAfee site

• Purging older events automatically from the McAfee ePO server database

• Deleting inactive machines automatically from your system Tree

Perform an action on a query

Server tasks allow you to automate activities on the McAfee ePO server by performing an action using

the results of a query on a scheduled basis.

This process requires you to:

Give your server task a descriptive name.

Choose an action then a subaction. This is the most important part of creating your task. After the

task performs the first action it performs the subaction based on the results of the original action.

For example:

• Run a query on the machines that have not communicated with the McAfee ePO server in over

30 days.

• Email that report to a specific administrator.

• Optionally, you can delete those machines from your System Tree after the report has been sent.

Another example:

• Create a query (or use a preconfigured query) and return all machines that have had a virus in

the past 12 hours.

You can limit the query to a specific area in your System Tree, for

example the New York data center.

• Export that report into HTML.

• Send the link to the help desk, for example in the New York data center, so they can view it on

their help-desk portal.

• Optionally, you can apply a tag to machines that have returned those viruses within the specific

time-frame, then launch an on-demand scan on those troubled machines based on the tag.

There are dozens of options you can use to take actions on a specific query. See McAfee ePolicy

Orchestrator 4.5 Product Guide for details. The main requirement is that your query must return

a table of managed systems, so ePolicy Orchestrator can take action on those systems.
