Endpoint Antivirus Scheduling - Problems with scanning mapped drive

[imadethis 0]

When I schedule a scan for a mapped drive, the scan executes on schedule but immediately finishes and says 0 objects scanned. When checking the log, the log says invalid drive. How do I set a scheduled task to scan a mapped network drive?

Endpoint Antivirus Version 6.2.2021.0 and also on Endpoint Antivirus 7.0.2100.4

To replicate:

1. Go to Tools
2. Add Task
3. Select On demand computer scan
4. Daily
5. Choose any time
6. Select As soon as possible
7. Computer Scan: Select a mapped network drive
8. Click OK
9. Right click on the newly created scheduled task and click Run Now
10. The scan will immediately say Scan completed. Expected behavior: the scan should begin scanning the mapped network drive.

Since scheduled tasks are run in the local system account, network drives are inaccessible due to permissions.

The fix was to add the local user, running the scan, to the server host. Then on the local system, add a scheduled scan to scan the network path \\192.168.X.X\path

Works great! Thank you very much Marcos.
