Domain Watch Default Settings

The following options on the System > Default Settings page apply to Domain Watch.

  • Discovery - Domain Watch policies "Include new Computers/Contacts" include moved objects - If a policy is applied to an OU/Container that has "Include New Computers" or Include new Contacts" checked, and:
    • This option is Y, then the policy is applied to computers or contacts moved into the OU/Container.
    • This option is N, then the policy is not applied to computers or contacts moved into the OU/Container.
  • Discovery - Staff record "View All Tickets" enabled - If checked, the View All Tickets checkbox is checked when the staff member record is created.
  • Discovery - Staff record Department name assignment scheme
    • Assign based on Active Directory OU Name - A department is created for the new staff record based on the OU/Container name.
    • Assign based on Active Directory Department property - A department is created for the new staff record based on the department name specified for the user in Active Directory.
  • Discovery - Staff record Staff name assignment scheme
    • Assign based on Active Directory Display name. If empty, use First name plus Last name
    • Assign based on Active Directory User logon name

  • Use domain short name in the construction of user passwords - If legacy AD logons were created using the View AD Users page in VSA 6.2 or earlier and these legacy AD logons continue to be used, then set to Yes. This enables user passwords for existing legacy AD logons to continue to be recognized. Whenever a password for an existing AD logon is reset, a newer hashing algorithm is used, based on fully qualified domain names. If legacy AD logons using the View AD Users page were never implemented prior to 6.3, then set this option to No.
