Required Software Scheduling...

Hello,

When scheduling a Required Software policy, would you set it to run literally every month, every week and every day?  Or is scheduling it once enough?  I ask this because my thinking tells me it’ll run once and then never again - if the software were to be installed by Automox, then removed by a user, the policy wouldn’t pick it up again.  Or at least not until that singular schedule day arrived again in a years time.

Or is is best to schedule a Required Software policy to run once every week if this is the case?

Cheers,
Mark.

Hello,

Your thinking is correct. If you would like to check on a weekly basis that the Required Software is installed on a Device, you should then schedule that Policy to run once a week. If the Policy is only run once, it will not catch a possible uninstallation action by a User.

Kind regards,

Elmer
