This article describes how to change the frequency or disable replication between Active Directory (AD) and other Password Manager serv

ers.

To stop replication between AD and other Password Manager instances for Password Manager 5.7.1 and later, follow the steps below:

1. Stop the Password mananger service
2. Open shared.storage file, located on the Password Manager server under C:\ProgramData\One Identity\Password Manager
3. Search the file for the word, "replication" to find the entry that looks like this: 
   
   <task schedulingType="Hourly" id="a2627246-9b45-4670-a085-e031751cc101" name="StorageReplication" enabled="true" hidden="true" period="00:05:00" weekDays="0" editMode="0">
4. To disable Set Enabled = "false" for Storage Replication task
   
   Example:<task schedulingType="Hourly" id="a2627246-9b45-4670-a085-e031751cc101" name="StorageReplication" enabled="false" hidden="true" period="00:05:00" weekDays="0" editMode="0">
   
   To change the frequency from every 5 minutes to every 10 minutes for example, it will look like this:
   <task schedulingType="Hourly" id="a2627246-9b45-4670-a085-e031751cc101" name="StorageReplication" enabled="true" hidden="true" period="00:10:00" weekDays="0" editMode="0">
5. Save the file
6. Restart the Password manager service
7. Open the Admin site (close and open if it was open)
8. Make a minor change and save the changes on Admin site
9. Wait for the replication to take place (10 minutes, to make sure)
10. Open shared.storage and check if modifications are still in place (the task has Enabled="False")
11. Restore the minor changes if desired

To change replication between AD and other Password Manager instances prior to Password Manager 5.7.1, the steps are the same with the exception of where the shared.storage file is located. It will be under C:\ProgamData under Quest or Dell.
