Activation / Deactivation

Activation and Deactivation buttons display on the Domain Watch > Probe Deployment tab.

• Activation - Enables incremental discovery and synchronization of domain controller data on a fixed time period. Activating a probe on a domain computer deactivates any other probe on that same domain, without loss of data.
  • Clicking Apply Changes after modifying policies on any Policies tab performs an "on demand" incremental synchronization. Activation performs a recurring incremental synchronization.
  • Activation is not required to run full sync on the Domain Watch > Schedule and Status tab.
• Deactivation - Disables incremental synchronization updates from the domain. If reactivation occurs later, a "changes gap" may exist in the data collected by the probe, requiring the scheduling of a full synchronization to correct.
