About The Pull And Replication Task Information In The Server Task Log; Client Tasks And What They Do - McAfee EPOCDE-AA-BA - ePolicy Orchestrator - PC Product Manual

• Forward slashes (/) identify increments. For example, "5/15" in the minutes field means the task
runs at minutes 5, 20, 35 and 50.
• The letter "L" means "last" in the Day of Week or Day of Month fields. For example, "0 15 10 ? *
6L" means the last Friday of every month at 10:15 am.
• The letter "W" means "weekday". So, if you created a Day of Month as "15W", this means the
weekday closest to the 15th of the month. Also, you can specify "LW", which means the last
weekday of the month.
• The pound character "#" identifies the "Nth" day of the month. For example, using "6#3" in the Day
of Week field is the third Friday of every month, "2#1" is the first Monday, and "4#5" is the fifth
Wednesday.

ePolicy Orchestrator allows you to create and schedule client tasks to help automate management of
systems in your managed network.
Which extension files are installed on your McAfee ePO server determines which client tasks are available.
Client tasks are commonly used for:
• Product deployment
• Product functionality (for example, the VirusScan Enterprise On-Demand Scan task)
• Upgrades and updates
If the month does not have a fifth Wednesday, the task does not run.
