The script is not saved to the device after running.

When complete, and if configured to do so, N-able N-central sends a notification to the selected recipients in the format defined by their user profile.

N-able N-central runs the task at the configured time. The scheduled task is saved to the repository. Your browser does not support the video tag.

Click the Notifications tab and configure N-able N-central to send a notification upon the successful completion of the task, or if the task fails to complete.

On a recurring task, you can also set the task not to run the scheduled task if the next occurrence of the task will be launched near the time of the recurring schedule, to avoid conflicting task windows.

In the Missed Executions options configure how far in the future N-able N-central should take action on a device that is currently offline, and how long it should wait, once the device powers on, before running the scheduled task.

Click the Schedule tab and set a time when N-able N-central runs the task.

Click the Targets tab and selected the devices targeted for the policy task by selecting specific devices or using a filter.

Click the Task Handler tab and select whether the agent or probe handles the script.

Select the location where the script is stored from the drop-down menu and complete the additional scripting details.

If N-able N-central cannot login using the configured device credentials, it defaults to the LocalSystem credentials. Select Custom Credentials to specify a user name and password to use for this task. Select Use Device Credentials to use existing device credentials to access the device for running the task. Select Use LocalSystem Credentials to use existing system level credentials to run the task.

Select the security Credentials of the account that will be used to run the script on the device.

Click Configuration > Scheduled Tasks > Add/Delete.

When running a script whose name contains spaces, you need to enclose the script name in quotes. If you need to apply a task to devices, it is best to use a scheduled task profile. This enables a task to apply to the devices using a rule. This avoids potential unexpected behavior when running tasks in the future. If you use filters for a task, N-able N-central uses a snapshot of the filter for the targeted devices to include in the task. Ensure that PowerShell is installed on the target devices before running PowerShell scripts.

Script file names must not contain spaces. To run a script on a Mac OS device, see Add a Mac scripting task. You can select a script from the N-able N-central repository or upload a script from your local system. Add a scripting task that N-able N-central runs at a scheduled time.
