Microsoft 4.5.X manual Adding Reports

Management reports are divided into two classes: “Active” and “Inactive” reports. Active reports are in the queue to be run when the task process runs; Inactive reports will never be run unless they are transferred into the “Active” list. You can switch a task from Inactive to Active status by clicking the [Activate] link next to its name. Similarly, you can switch a task from Active to Inactive status by clicking on the [Deactivate] link next to its name.

Each scheduled task has an interval at which it runs, a set of criteria it scans for, and a set of user groups to scan. All task settings can be found by clicking the task’s [Edit] link.

Adding Reports

Adding a report is as easy as entering the new report name, selecting the report type, and clicking the “Add Task” button. The report type will determine how the report selects users from its target groups:

•“Password expiration” – Select this report type to search for accounts with passwords due to expire in the specified number of days. This scan searches for accounts whose passwords will be expired by the primary domain controller’s password policy. The date used for calculating the time until expiration in the task is drawn from the clock on the machine running ARCWeb, NOT the domain controller. Thus, any inconsistencies in the system clocks between the primary domain controller and the machine running ARCWeb could cause inaccuracies in detecting the appropriate users.

•“Self Reset Configuration” – Select this report type to search for users who have not completed enrollment in the self-service verification questions.
