Schedule System Tree synchronization

Prev Next

Schedule a server task that updates the System Tree with changes in the mapped domain or Active Directory container.

Depending on group synchronization settings, this task automates these actions:

  • Adds new systems on the network to the specified group.

  • Adds new corresponding groups when new Active Directory containers are created.

  • Deletes corresponding groups when Active Directory containers are removed.

  • Removes systems that are no longer in the domain or container.

  • Applies site or group policies and tasks to new systems.

  • Prevents or allows duplicate entries of systems that still exist in the System Tree after you moved them to other locations.

  1. Select Menu → Automation → Server Tasks, then click New Task.

  2. On the Description page, name the task and choose whether it is enabled once it is created.

  3. In the Actions drop-down list, select Active Directory Synchronization.

  4. Select whether to synchronize all groups or selected groups. If you are synchronizing only some groups, click Select Synchronized Groups and select specific groups.

  5. Schedule the task.

    In addition to running the task at the scheduled time, you can run this task immediately: on the Server Tasks page next to the task, click Run.

  6. When finished, click Save.
