Topher 1 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Due to the issues with previous release shutting down endpoints, after a scheduled scan in a policy, we upgraded the "hotfix" to 7.3.2036.0. I decided to create a Test Policy with a Scheduled Scan, Take no action after scan, and it WILL NOT let you name the task...it defaults the task name to Automatic update after dial-up connection, and it does not initiate a scan, nor does it let you create the task name, as it is greyed out. Anyone else seeing this? Edited July 6, 2020 by Topher delete image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,406 Posted July 6, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 6, 2020 Default tasks cannot be renamed neither on clients nor in policies. However, when creating a new update task you can name it to your liking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topher 1 Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 Am choosing from drop down to create an On demand scan, as task type, and it will not let me name it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,406 Posted July 6, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 6, 2020 Is that when creating a new scan task in scheduler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topher 1 Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) This is happening when I open/edit an existing policy, go to Settings, Tools, expand Scheduler, click Edit, Add, choose from dropdown On-demand computer scan, and Task name remains greyed out Edited July 6, 2020 by Topher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,406 Posted July 6, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 6, 2020 Click Add, not Edit: Then you can edit the task name as well: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topher 1 Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 Marcos, That is exactly what I am doing...clicking Add...as from text above, This is happening when I open/edit an existing policy, go to Settings, Tools, expand Scheduler, click Edit, Add, choose from dropdown On-demand computer scan, and Task name remains greyed out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topher 1 Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 I guess I will just have to try and create new policies, but I should be able to add to existing ones, which seems is broken now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,406 Posted July 6, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 6, 2020 We'd need to check your policy in order to find out what's going on. I'm able to edit an existing policy and edit the name of an existing custom task in scheduler as well. It could happen that the task in question somehow got the ID of a default task and therefore its name cannot be changed. It's weird that it's called "Automatic update after dial-up connection" and the task type was changed to "On-demand computer scan". My understanding is that this should not normally happen and I was unable to edit a task this way. Default tasks can only be enabled or disabled: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topher 1 Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 Yes, I am not messing with the default tasks. Only trying to add back the Scheduled task I had in my policies, before it went haywire on last update. I open/edit an existing policy, go to Settings, Tools, expand Scheduler, click Edit, Add, choose the option from drop down "On-demand computer scan", and Task name remains greyed out, and says "Automatic update after dial-up connection" under task name, and you cannot change it.

ESET Staff Mirek S. 18 Posted July 7, 2020 ESET Staff Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) Please provide version of configuration (CE2) module server has and browser You're using. Could be some faulty version. Please also try in a different browser. I assume in EP this screen works correctly? Edited July 7, 2020 by Mirek S.

Topher 1 Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 Tried 2 other browsers besides Firefox, where I normally run it, same issue. I cannot add a scheduled custom task to any existing policy, without it defaulting name to Automatic update after dial-up connection, which is greyed out.

Administrators Marcos 5,406 Posted July 7, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 7, 2020 Since figuring out the root cause of the issue will require further troubleshooting and also more information will be required, I would strongly recommend opening a ticket with your local ESET support to ensure that the case is tracked and dealt with properly.
