To run a job, perform the following steps:
1. Log in to the NAS Manager.
2. Click Controller.
3. Click Run Jobs.
4. In the Tasks list, click Run.
5. Follow the instructions in the Run Job Wizard.
Running a Job Using Quick Run
If an MDM job already exists, use Quick Run to execute the job on another device or set.

2. Click Controller.
3. Click Run Jobs.
4. Select a job and click Quick Run.
Using MDM Job Templates
In addition to sample job scripts provided with the NAS Manager MDM services, you can create custom scripts that can be run remotely on one or more
devices. These custom scripts are then incorporated into job templates that can be used later for running jobs.
