Replicating Active Directory to WorkZone

When replicating the Active Directory to WorkZone, you can run a simulation of the Active Directory replication if you want to analyze what items the Active Directory replication is going to change.

Replicate Active Directory to WorkZone

On the WorkZone Content Server, start the sjActiveDirectoryReplication program and click Display Only.

When the Active Directory replication is run, the results of the replication will be displayed in the WorkZone Active Directory Connector window. No changes will be transferred to WorkZone.

A Done line will be displayed in the list of results when the simulation is finished.

When you have analyzed the simulated results, click Transfer to replicate the displayed Active Directory user settings to WorkZone.

Note: Some inconsistencies and logical errors cannot be discovered just by looking at the simulation results, for example a correctly created user with insufficient privileges will seem correct when looking at the results but when implemented, the user will experience issues due to these insufficient user rights.

Automated Active Directory replication

You can set up the Active Directory replication as scheduled task in Windows to automate the Active Directory replication. You can also set up the task to save the replication log as a text file.

The Active Directory replication log file

The Active Directory replication log file contains a list of errors encountered during the replication as well as corresponding error messages, if any.
