Task Name – the name you use to refer to the task. This name will be stored in the reports database so you can find the task output.

Task runs on – select the days of the week on which the task will run.

Last Run – the last time that the task was run, and the status of the run (success or failure).

Target Groups – the list of groups that the task will scan when run. You can add a new group by entering a group name into the box and clicking “Add Group”. You can delete a target group by clicking on the [del] link next to the group name.

Filter Users – allows to use create a list of users to ignore when running the reports

Task Details – the task will operate on users who meet these criteria. The task will search for users who meet the criteria selected.

Actions – Once the scheduled task has detected users it will take the specified actions. o “Disable the user’s account” – check this box to have the scheduled task

disable the account. DO NOT select both “Disable account” and “Enable account” on the same task!

o “Enable the user’s account” – check this box to have the scheduled task enable the account. DO NOT select both “Disable account” and “Enable account” on the same task!

o “Save the task results to the reports database” – check this box to save the

detected accounts and the actions taken to the reports database. Note that account reset actions are always saved to the log; the reports database is stored separately and is sorted by task and date, not by user account.

o “Send the user an email” – check this box to send an email to the user at his or her Active Directory email address. You may enter the text of the email message in the textarea below this checkbox. You can use wildcards to specify fields to automatically fill in:

￿#RealName# - the real name of the user, as stored in Active Directory.

￿#PwdDaysToExp# - the days before the user’s password will expire.

￿#InactiveDays# - the number of days the user’s account has been inactive.

Email Results to – enter an email address in this box will cause the scheduled task system to send a summary email to this email address when the task has been completed.

Save Task Settings – click this to save the task settings.

Save Task and Run Now – click this to save the task settings and run the task immediately.

Return to Task List – click this to return to the list of tasks.

Viewing Account Task Reports

Overview

The Account Reset Console’s automatic task scheduler allows you to generate reports on any scheduled task and save the reports to the logging database. These reports can be viewed by an admin or help desk manager to discover account issues requiring additional action.

4.5.X specifications

Microsoft 4.5.X represents a significant evolution in the company's software development frameworks, particularly focusing on enhancing the development experience for modern applications. This iteration builds upon the strengths of its predecessor, bringing a host of new features, improved performance, and powerful tools for developers.

One of the standout features of Microsoft 4.5.X is the introduction of asynchronous programming capabilities. This allows developers to write code that can perform multiple tasks simultaneously without blocking the main execution thread, leading to more responsive applications. By utilizing the async and await keywords, developers can easily manage asynchronous operations, making their applications more efficient and responsive to user interactions.

Additionally, Microsoft 4.5.X enhances support for modern web applications with the inclusion of features such as Web API, which simplifies the process of building robust RESTful services. This allows developers to create applications that can communicate with various data sources and client applications seamlessly. Coupled with the integration of SignalR, real-time web functionality is made simple, enabling scenarios such as live chat applications or real-time data updates.

Another key component is improved support for modern devices and platforms. The framework now includes better integration with cloud services, allowing developers to leverage Microsoft Azure more efficiently. This shift not only streamlines deployment but also enhances application scalability and reliability. Developers can take advantage of cloud storage, compute power, and various other services that Microsoft Azure provides, ensuring their applications can grow with user demand.

Performance enhancements are also a focus in Microsoft 4.5.X. The framework includes better memory management, reduced startup times, and overall improved runtime performance. These optimizations empower developers to create applications that not only perform better but also provide a smoother user experience.

Moreover, Microsoft has placed a significant emphasis on modern standards and protocols. Support for HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript allows developers to create rich web applications that perform across all major browsers. Additionally, the framework includes capabilities for building Windows Store apps, facilitating a broader reach for developers.

In summary, Microsoft 4.5.X introduces advanced asynchronous programming, robust RESTful service capabilities, enhanced cloud integration, and a focus on performance and modern web standards. These features collectively empower developers to create high-quality, efficient applications that meet the needs of today's users, setting a strong foundation for future innovations in software development.
