3. In the Network Search Task Wizard: Search Type window, select  the type of search task that you would like to create. A Temporary network search task is not saved on the server, and will only be used for the current session. A Network scan template is stored on the server using a given name so that it can be run again at a later time (selected in this example).
   

   NOTE:

   Results of a Network scan template search are not stored - the task must be restarted to refresh search results.

4. Enter a name for the task and click Next.

5. Select the check box(es) next to the search parameter(s) that you wish to use for this search task. In this example, the search will be run based on IP address. Click Next.
   

   NOTE:

   You can select more than one search method in step 5. For each check box that you select, you will be required to configure your specific paramters (for example, specific IP address range).

6.  Since the search in this example is filtered by IP address, it is necessary to configure the specific parameters of the search. Complete the necessary fields and click Next.

7. Click Finish to save the custom search task and scan your network for client workstations that meet the criteria of the search filter. You can then run push installations, uninstallations, configuration tasks, etc., to those specific workstations.
   

   NOTE:

   To make sure that your network is properly configured for push installations, see the following article:
