Schedule and Status

Directory Services > Domains > Schedule and Status tab

The Schedule and Status tab schedules full synchronizations for a selected domain. It also displays the status of the incremental synchronization and full synchronizations.

For more information see:

Actions

  • Schedule Full Synchronization - Schedules a full synchronization once or periodically. Each type of recurrence—Once, Minutes, Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly—displays additional options appropriate for that type of recurrence. Periodic scheduling includes setting start and end dates for the recurrence. Options include:
    • Distribution Window - Reschedules the task to a randomly selected time no later than the number of periods specified, to spread network traffic and server loading.
    • Skip if offline - If checked and the machine is offline, skip and run the next scheduled period and time. If blank and the machine is offline, run the task as soon as the machine is online again.
    • Power up if offline - Windows only. If checked, powers up the machine if offline. Requires Wake-On-LAN or vPro and another managed system on the same LAN.
    • Exclude the following time range - If checked, specifies a date/time range to not perform the task.
  • Cancel Full Synchronization - Cancels the full synchronization schedule.

Header Fields

  • Probe Status

Word 80% / HTML 100% - Un-installed - A probe is not installed for this domain.

Word 80% / HTML 100% - Processing - The probe executing a user request.

Word 80% / HTML 100% - Installed - The probe is installed and harvesting has been completed.

Word 80% / HTML 100% - Activated - The probe is monitoring the domain. KDS policies are modified but have not yet been applied.

Word 80% / HTML 100% - Activated - The probe is monitoring the domain. KDS policies have been modified but not yet been applied for at least three synchronization intervals. The KDS administrator may have forgotten to apply the modified policies.

Word 80% / HTML 100% - Attention - The probe has encountered a problem that may require user attention. Because the probe's attention status may self-correct, the attention status does not necessarily correspond to a warning alert or error alert.
