About the Task Manager Welcome page and the Archive User Browser in an Exchange environment

The Welcome to Task Manager Wizard page can show information about the following:

  • The Active Directory users that you have selected for CloudLink to synchronize to Veritas Alta Archiving.

  • All the users in the Active Directory domains that you have registered with CloudLink.

  • The CloudLink tasks that you have created.

  • The status of account synchronizations and web folder deployments.

The Welcome to Task Manager Wizard page is also the place from which you launch the Task Manager wizard.

Task Manager Wizard
Archive User Browser

The Archive User Browser pane shows information about the users that are associated with the Active Directory domain that is selected in the Archive User Browser menu bar.

Note:

The displayed information relates to when you last started CloudLink, or when you last refreshed the Archive User Browser.

The Archive User Browser can show information from either of two separate sources:

  • By default, the Archive User Browser shows information about the users and groups that you have selected for CloudLink to synchronize to Veritas Alta Archiving. When you start CloudLink, CloudLink reads its local database to obtain this information. To refresh this data, click the Refresh drop-down on the Archive User Browser menu bar, and select Refresh from Database.

    Note:

    When you create a task, CloudLink adds the users to its database as soon as you select them. The database can therefore include users for which synchronization has not yet occurred.

  • The Archive User Browser can also show information for all of the mail-enabled users and groups in the selected Active Directory domain. To view this information, click the Refresh drop-down on the Archive User Browser menu bar, and select Refresh from Active Directory.

    Note:

    A refresh with data from Active Directory may take some time, depending on the size of your Active Directory deployment.

Table: Information shown in the Archive User Browser shows the information that the Archive User Browser displays for each user.

Table: Information shown in the Archive User Browser

Last Synchronized

The date and time of the last synchronization event.

Note:

The last synchronization time can be different for different users. You get only the modified account details from the last synchronization time to optimize the cloud archive status synchronization.

See Optimizing the cloud archive status synchronization.

Note:

Remember that the information dates from when you last started CloudLink, or when you last refreshed the Archive User Browser.

You can export the details of the users and groups that are listed in the Archive User Browser to a CSV (comma-separated values) file.

See Exporting archive account information from the Archive User Browser.

Created Task List

The Created Task List area lists all the tasks that currently exist. The list is empty until you create some tasks. You can manage existing tasks from the Created Task List.

See About managing tasks and monitoring their results.

Task Manager Logging

The Task Manager Logging area posts information about synchronizations and Alta Personal Archive web folder deployments as they happen, and provides links to the task reports and the CloudLink logs.

See Viewing the task reports.
