Settings in this folder control how often the CFSA runs scheduled scans of the local hard disk. They also determine which drives, folders and files are scanned, and which user policy is applied to scanned files.
These settings determine which folders to scan. By default, the CFSA scans all local folders except the \Windows and \Program Files folders, but you can change these settings. For example, use the Included list to specify the main folders you want to scan but then use the Excluded list to omit specific subfolders within the main folders.
By default, the Excluded Folders setting uses %SystemRoot% and %ProgramFiles% variables to exclude the \Windows and \Program Files folders.
These settings determine which files to scan within the included folders. By default, the Included setting lists all the common document types such as *.doc and *.ppt. No files are excluded by default, but you can use the Excluded list to omit specific file types such as .mp3 or .log files.
The Excluded list takes precedence if there is a conflict. For example, you can include all spreadsheets (*.xls) but exclude specifc files such as Holiday_Form.xls.
This setting determines which user policy gets applied to scanned files. You need to supply an existing CA DataMinder user account (the user name, not the full name). For example, you may want to use a bespoke user account created specifically to apply policy to scanned files across all workstations.
Use this setting to enable regular scans of all included files on the local machine.
Settings in this folder determine when and how often the CFSA scans the local hard disk.
This setting specifies the time when the scans start. The start time is specified as 'minutes after midnight'. For example, enter 60 to specify a 1am start time. .
This setting specifies which day the scan first runs. You can specify any day of the week or Next. If you choose Next, the scan starts at the next occurrence of the Start Time; this could be later today or tomorrow.
This setting specifies how often the scan runs. For example, to run a scan every Sunday, set the Start Date to Sunday and the Frequency to 7.
To set up daily file scans
Set the Start Time as required. Then set the Start Day to Next and the Frequency to 1.
If you want dail scans, do not set the Start Day to a specific day of the week! If the client machine is restarted, the next scan will not run until the next occurrence of the Start Day.
