Automation of active directory replication

Instead of manually executing the active directory transfer and manually starting the Scanjour Service COM ADW <database name> service to update WorkZone database, you can automate both procedures, making sure to schedule the tasks at times where the system is not being used or when system and database backups are not running.

Automate the active directory transfer

You can create a shortcut to the wzActiveDirectoryReader.exe program, define any parameters and arguments necessary, for example specifying which active directory replication configuration to use and then define a scheduled task on the on-site domain controller to run the task and execute the wzActiveDirectoryReader.exe program at predetermined time intervals, for example every night at 01:00, or right after back-up routines are expected to be completed.

Automate the update service

The Scanjour Service COM ADW <database name> service is by default defined to be started automatically when it is installed initially but if this setting has been changed, you must set up the service to start automatically.
