Domain
The length of the search string in dropdown boxes before a query is made to the AD. Set this value higher than 0 to improve search performance in the AD.
When enabled, SoftwareCentral will add devices to AD-Groups instead of collections. It is required that the packages install and uninstall collections have a query rule pointing to an AD-Group. The AD-Group name clause in the queries must start with the domain name followed by a backslash and the group name. If no query rule is found for the collection, SoftwareCentral will instead create a direct membership rule on the collection.
See the guide “SoftwareCentral AD-Deployment”
This will refresh the collection membership after a software deployment. This will only have an effect if AD deployment is enabled. Otherwise it will slow down the system.
Enables support for pre-windows 2000 domains in the Local Group Administration interface. After enabling this, go to the Domain tab and set up the pre-windows 2000 domain names.
Enable double wildcard search when searching for AD groups. The default behavior only allows to search by “starts with”.
This will have an impact on the search speed.
Enable this setting if users log in to Windows using the pre-windows 2000 domain name, but you require that users are registered with the normal domain name in SoftwareCentral and services called by SoftwareCentral.
Try to connect to the client even if a ping does not return. This only applies to the local group administration interface.
When SoftwareCentral adds a user to a computers local group, the computers fully qualified name is used.
When SoftwareCentral adds a user to a computers local group, the user's ObjectSid is used.
If enabled, SoftwareCentral will send a mail notification to users which are added to a local group for a given period.
You can change the notification mail, "Local Group Notification", with the Mail Template Editor.
The max number of days a user can be a member of a local group. 0 = unlimited.
When a local group membership expires, the user must be removed from the local group by SoftwareCentral. If the device is not online, the user will remain in the local group until removed.
SoftwareCentral will try to remove to remove user from the local group for this amount of days.
If you have many users, which SoftwareCentral keeps track of, you may need to reduce this number to improve performance.
Use the global catalog instead of a local domain controller. This may slow down AD searches, but can be necessary depending on the location of the SoftwareCentral web server.
In the AD-Computer interface, the comment attribute is shown after the computer name in the dropdown selection.
The AD-module users existing users as templates for new users. Use this setting to select an organizational unit with the users you want as templates. You could for instance create a special OU only with users for templates, such as a "Danish HR worker" and so on.
Settings for each domain in the AD. If there isn’t trust to a domain, a service account with the same permissions as the SoftwareCentral service account is required on that domain. See the guide “SoftwareCentral Untrusted Domain Support” for more information.
