Hi Folks,

I would like to be able to scan the active directory user path at least once per hour (ideally every 30 minutes). At the moment, it looks like I can only set it up for once per day. Other than configuring multiple scan schedules for it, is there another way of doing it?

Thanks!
Ian

Active Directory information can be scanned by several different scanning methods

AD info is pulled from your domain controller, not the client machines.

REMARK:
Please note that Lansweeper will not refresh any AD info if it already did in the last 20 hours. This 20-hour cooldown is tracked in the scanning service memory and is not reset by rescanning any of the above-mentioned Active Directory scanning targets.

I need to use the Group Path scanning target, as i'm scanning for useres in a group, and not a device.

So... I will need another tool, for AD change mangement then?

@Ken1 If you want to use the built-in AD reporting and alert notifications for AD change monitoring, you will indeed be limited by the 20-hours cool-down period.
