74 DSView 3 Software Installer/User Guide
The DSView 3 software obtains external group membership and external user information when a
user logs in. If a user’s group membership changes or the user is deleted externally, the DSView 3
software will not see these changes until the next time the user logs in.
You may schedule a task that will automatically verify LDAP, Active Directory and NT external
authentication servers to ensure that accounts are still valid; see Task: Validating user accounts on
an external authentication server on page 303.
