Make sure you have at least version 3.61, as setting up
the service has been made easier in this version.
The scheduler can run as a Windows NT/2000/XP
Service. This means that scheduled synchronizations take
place without users having to log on.
The service is installed and started from the Scheduler
tab sheet of the main application window.
In order to access network drives, the service must be
given a log on account. This is done when clicking on
the Install... button on the Scheduler tab sheet
to install the service. To change the log on account,
please uninstall and then re-install the service. Make
sure that you specify a user account where you know that
Windows Explorer has access to the volumes that you
need. Choose an account that has network access without
Windows Explorer asking for a password for the network
drive. Windows Explorer should have already stored the
password.
Also in order to enable access to a network drive, please
try using a UNC path such as
\\servername\sharename\foldername rather than a
mapped drive letter.
If this is not sufficient, you can provide a username
and password for the network resource in each
profile. Just below the edit field for the right path, please
click on:
Network Connections...
However, this is rarely needed and should be
avoided if possible.
Deleting to the recycle bin is not supported by the
service.
The setting for the "Store Preferences" location on the
Options tab sheet should be "One INI File for all users",
or the service won't always have access to the settings.
If you need to change this setting, please use "Save To
INI" before making the switch, and Load From INI after the
switch in order to carry your profiles over to the new
location.
Even though the service is normally invisible, you can get a pretty good picture of what it's currently doing or planning to do, using the Scheduler tab sheet of the main application window. You can even connect to a remote computer and control and watch the service running there.
