-
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 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. If the "Background Scheduler"
is running, please stop it and then choose Use: Service Scheduler. Then you
will see the service-specific install/uninstall, start/stop buttons.
-
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. Use this setting on
the Job tab sheet in the profile:
Network Connections...
However, in many cases this is not needed. Rather than specifying the full path for the network connection, you can also try specifying just \\servername
-
Deleting to the recycle bin is not supported by the
service.
-
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.
