Administrators Marcos 5,231 Posted June 5, 2021 Administrators Share Posted June 5, 2021 Since scheduled scans are run in the local system account, they cannot be used to scan network drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itman 1,741 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Eset has a command line based scanner: https://support.eset.com/en/kb3417-eset-command-line-scanner-parameters-eclsexe-5x-and-later . The scan code can be created in a script and the script scheduled to run via Win Task Manager. However, I am not sure this will scan network drives. Possibly by setting the scheduled task to run with highest privledges; i.e. System. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,231 Posted June 6, 2021 Administrators Share Posted June 6, 2021 Yes, ecls can be run via a Windows Scheduler task if it's run under a user with at least read permissions to the network share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
