Task options

Tasks can have different options too depending on the type of task.



You can set the time you want the run the task, and select the days that it should run.
You can cancel the task between certain dates too. This is useful to stop a startup task turning computers on during school holidays.
For some tasks you can tell it not to run if someone is logged in, you can allow them to cancel the task, specify warning times and specify the message the user will see.



Tasks for enabling or disabling users require credentials to connect to Active Directory
You can enter them here. The user will need the appropriate access level to modify the state of the user accounts you want to change.

Assignments for Scheduled Tasks work a little differently to other areas of the BCX Manager.
All assignments are set on the Task Assignments tab. You assign them in the same way by selecting individual objects, OU's or groups.
