Hello, I like to ask for advice about how to scan mobile clients. I have quite large amout of laptop users, and I need to scan their computers for vulnerabilities let say once a month. Problem is that some of them are not regulary attended at the office, and my problem is how to schedule scans to the moment when they are connected.
Thank you for your time.

Hi Jiri,
I was considering this same question last week.
I couldn't think of a way to do it through the WebUI without just blind scanning the client list twice a day - say 10:00 and 14:00.
Using the API you could select an appropriate number of scanner appliances to run continual subnet discoveries and feed back the results to an "online" list.
That list could be checked against a "not seen in 3 days (or whatever period)" list and all those that match are put into another API call to a different scanner appliance to VA scan them.
