Specifying the user account under which to synchronize custodians
By default, Custodian Manager uses the account under which the Accelerator Manager service is running when it synchronizes custodians and custodian groups with the corresponding Active Directory accounts. If you prefer, you can nominate a different account on a per-domain basis.
The nominated synchronization account must have certain permissions in Active Directory. For guidelines on how to assign these permissions, see the Installation Guide.
To specify the user account under which to synchronize custodians
- In the Custodian Manager home page, click Synchronization Accounts.
- In the Synchronization Accounts page, click New Account.
- In the Synchronization Account page, type the NetBIOS name of the Active Directory domain with which you want to synchronize.
- Specify the user account under which to perform Active Directory access for the domain. The nominated account must have certain permissions to query the Active Directory domain.
Click Check Account to verify that the nominated user account has the required permissions.
- If your environment has multiple domain controllers and you want to specify the preferred one for Custodian Manager to contact, type its fully qualified domain name in the Preferred domain controller box.
The following occurs when you specify a preferred domain controller:
Custodian Manager contacts the preferred domain controller and performs an initial, full synchronization with the Active Directory domain. It then contacts this domain controller for subsequent, incremental synchronization runs.
If the preferred domain controller is unavailable, Custodian Manager waits for a specified period before it attempts another, full synchronization with the same domain controller. The delay period is set by the Profile Synchronization option "Time to wait before full synchronization (hours)", which you can access by clicking Settings in the Custodian Manager home page. By default, it is 36 hours.
If Custodian Manager still cannot contact the preferred domain controller, it contacts the next available controller and performs a full synchronization.
For subsequent synchronization runs, Custodian Manager first tries to perform a full synchronization with the preferred controller. However, if this server is unavailable, Custodian Manager performs an incremental synchronization with the last-used controller.
The following occurs when you do not specify a preferred domain controller:
Custodian Manager contacts the first available domain controller and performs an initial, full synchronization with the Active Directory domain.
For subsequent, incremental synchronization runs, Custodian Manager contacts the domain controller that it used for the initial, full synchronization. However, if this domain controller is unavailable, Custodian Manager contacts the next available domain controller and performs a full synchronization. Then it uses the new domain controller for subsequent, incremental synchronization runs, unless it too becomes unavailable. In this case, the process goes back to the beginning: Custodian Manager contacts the next available domain controller and performs a full synchronization.
- Enter any DNS fully qualified domain names that you want to map to the NetBIOS name.
- Click OK.
