Disable a Collect Task

When you create a collect task, you enable scanning automatically. You can disable scanning on agents, groups, and user accounts by disabling the collect task.

To disable a collect task

1. Navigate to the following folder in DSM Explorer: Computers and Users, All Computers.
2. Open the Group Details folder to disable the collect task on all agents on the domain, or open an agent folder to disable the collect task for an individual agent.
3. Open the Configuration folder and click Collect Tasks.

   The right pane displays the collect tasks that apply to the group or agent.

4. Click a collect task to select it and right-click.

   A context menu appears.

5. Select Disable.

   The collect task is disabled for the individual agent (if you selected an agent) or for all agents in the group (if you selected Group Details).
