Overview

A scheduled scan is a network audit that is scheduled to run automatically on a specific date/time and at a specific frequency. GFI LanGuard ships with a patch auto-deployment feature that enables you to deploy missing patches and service packs in all languages supported by Microsoft® products.

At times, the following GFI LanGuard remote actions might not be running as required:

• Scheduled scans configured from the console.
• Scheduled scans configured from the agents.
• Patch deployments.
