You can check the details of a task before you
execute it, by viewing a Task Scenario. When you view a task
scenario, the Symantec Ghost Console validates the properties and
settings of the selected task and displays full details of each
step, including any possible reasons for failure.
The Task Scenario includes the following
information:
- The steps in the task, and the order in which they are
performed
- The number of computers in the target group
- The name of each computer in the target group
- The network settings for data transfer mode and data throughput
limit
- Details of each step in the task.
This is essentially the information that has been
set on each tab of the Properties for <Task name> window. The
settings for each step are validated and, if any possible reasons
for failure are found, a warning message is displayed.

Note: If the Console finds an obvious reason why
the task would fail, such as having no computers in the target
group, or no image file for a restore step, it stops the validation
immediately. The task scenario shows the task information up to the
point of failure, where a warning message is shown. No further
information is shown. You must modify the task to correct the
problem, and generate the task scenario again.
