User Status Statistics Task

By default, the User Status Statistics task runs every day. Normally, it is not recommended to change the schedule, although if you have other heavy-duty tasks (for instance, an Active Directory backup task) running at that time, we recommend that you reschedule the User Status Statistics task to run in off-peak hours. The User Status Statistics task is used to do the following:

  • Enumerating users for licensing purposes: Password Manager is licensed for a specific number of user accounts enabled for management by Password Manager in all managed domains. The task checks whether the managed user count is within the license limit.

  • Collecting statistic information about users.: Including the total user count, the number of users registered and the users not-registered with Password Manager, number of users required to register with Password Manager, and the number of users required to update profile. This information is collected for all the domains managed by a specific Password Manager instance and displayed on the Reports page of the Administration Site.

The scope of this task corresponds to user scopes of all configured Management Policies.

Environment Health Checker Task

This scheduled task is used to check the status of all domain controllers from all domain connections and select the best available domain controller for each connection.

For example, to connect to a managed domain mydomain.com three domain controllers can be used: domain controller (DC)1, 2 and 3; the best available domain controller is DC 1. By default, the best available domain controller is used to connect to the domain. If this domain controller becomes unavailable, the next available domain controller is automatically selected. For example, DC 2 is now used to connect to the domain. But if DC 1 becomes available again, the connection will not be automatically switched to DC 1.

To switch back to DC 1, the environment health checker task should be run. This task checks the availability of domain controllers for domain connections, and selects the best domain controller for each connection.

To schedule this task

  1. Connect to the Administration Site by typing the Administration Site URL in the address bar of your Web browser. By default, the URL is http://<ComputerName>/PMAdmin/.
