How does it work? At a glance.
Create a task.Tasks contain the program you want to install, the
files you want to distribute, the command you want to run, or the settings you
want to push.
Create and save multiple tasks. You can then run them according
to a specific plan. Each task can be associated with multiple plans. Sample
tasks:
Install Adobe Reader or
Run Virus Scanner.
Create a plan.
Plans define the computers that will receive the task
and tell the task how and when to run. Each plan can only be associated
with one task. Sample plans:
All Servers in Building 7 or
Windows 8.1 Desktops.
Run the plan.
Either run the plan immediately or according to a schedule.
Tip: You can also automatically run One2Many tasks in
response to triggered alerts (also known as
self-healing alerts).

How to Create Alert Rules in an Alert Package.
Sample Task/Plan combination
Your goal is to distribute a new virus scan software to the sales
team's LogMeIn Windows hosts. You want this to happen on December 14 at 21:00.
First, you create a task
called "Install Virus Scan Software" and include the relevant .msi file as a
resource.
Next, you create a plan
called "Sales PCs Dec14 21:00" that includes all computers in the group "Sales
PCs" and schedules the task to run on December 14 at 21:00.
When creating the plan,
you ensure that the task "Install Virus Scan Software" is assigned to the plan.
Otherwise the plan won't know what to do.
Host-side requirements
Make sure your hosts are running the latest version of the host
software.
Client-side requirements
You must have Flash version 9 or above to upload task resources and
manage credentials.
Without Flash, all you can do is run plans for existing tasks and
execute remote commands that do not require uploaded files.
