A task is created in the PerfectDisk Enterprise Console whenever you create an action to be performed on the client computers, such as an action to install the PerfectDisk Client on managed computers, an action to create a schedule on managed computers, an action to configure managed computers, and so on.
As soon a task is created, it gets listed in the Task Management section of the PerfectDisk Enterprise Console.
In the Task Management Pane, you can:
View a list of all tasks created in the Enterprise Console. There is also a categorical view of the tasks. For example, all client configuration tasks can be found in the Configuration Tasks node on the right side of the window.
View the task status. The Complete column will show the information on the number of computers the task has been executed on out of the number of computers the task was created.
View the success, failure, or working status of the task. The Succeeded and Failed column will show the number of computers where the task succeeded or failed. The success, failure, and working status of the task is indicated by the following icons:
- A red icon represents a failed task.
- A green icon represents a task that has completed successfully.
- A yellow warning icon represents a task that succeeded on one or
more computers and failed on at least one computer.
- A circular working icon represents a task is currently being executed.
Run task now - This will initiate the task on client computers immediately and you can see the task status in the Task Pane.
Cancel Task - This will cancel a running task.
Delete task - This will delete a task from the task list.
View Local Event Log - This will launch the local event log of the Console computer.
