4.6 ReplSysVol

Use this Knowledge Script to display information about the consistency of files in the SysVol folder of the Report agent’s corresponding domain controller and the files in the SysVol folders of any replication partners of that domain controller.

You can return a list of all files whose content does not match.

The report lists each replication partner, and for each partner, the following columns of information:

  • File Compare. If all files in the SysVol folder also exist on the replication partner, a value of OK is displayed in this column. Any files that exist in the SysVol folder but do not exist on the replication partner are listed here.

  • File Size Match. If all matching files in the SysVol folder and the replication partner’s SysVol folder match in size, a value of OK is displayed in this column. Any files with a disparity in size are listed here.

  • File Content Match. If you enable the Discover all files that do not match file content parameter and all files match for content, a value of OK is displayed in this column. If any files do not match for content, those files are listed here.

    If you disable the Discover all files that do not match file content parameter and all files match for content, a value of OK is displayed in this column. If a non-matching file is found, comparison of file content stops with that file, and a value of Testing Stopped is displayed in this column.

Description

How to Set It

Discover all files that do not match file content?

Set to Yes to return a list of all files in the replication partner’s SysVol folder whose content is different than the content of matching files in the SysVol folder of the Report Agent’s corresponding domain controller.

The default is Yes.

Report Settings

Include table of parameter settings?

Set to Yes to include a table in the report that lists parameter settings for the report script. The default is Yes.

Output folder

Click Browse [...] to select the name and location of the folder in which the report will be saved.

Add job ID to output folder name?

Set to Yes to append the job ID to the name of the output folder. The default is unchecked.

A job ID helps make the correlation between a specific instance of a Report Script and the corresponding report.

Report properties

Click Browse [...] to set report properties as desired.

Add timestamp to title?

Set to Yes to append a timestamp to the title of the report, making each title unique. The default is unchecked.

The timestamp is made up of the date and time the report was generated.

By adding a timestamp, you can run consecutive iterations of the same report without overwriting previous output.

Event Notification

Raise event for report success?

Set to Yes to raise an event when the report is successfully generated. The default is Yes.

Event severity for report with no data

Set the severity level, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event in which the report is successfully generated but contains no data. The default is 25 (blue event indicator).

Event severity for report with error(s)

Set the severity level, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event in which the report is generated with some errors. The default is 15 (yellow event indicator).

Event severity for report failure

Set the severity level, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event in which the report is not generated. The default is 5 (magenta event indicator).
