Recommended Configurations for the 1.Groups Job Group

Dependencies

Target Host

Schedule Frequency

The data analyzed by the 1.Groups Job Group jobs is collected by the .Active Directory Inventory Job Group. Therefore, it is recommended to schedule these jobs to run after the .Active Directory Inventory job group collection has completed. These jobs can be scheduled to run as desired.

Run at the Job Group Level

RECOMMENDED: Run the jobs in the 1.Groups Job Group together and in order by running the entire job group, instead of the individual jobs.

Analysis Configuration

The 1.Groups Job Group should be run with the default analysis configurations. Most of the analysis tasks are preconfigured for this job group.

Some analysis tasks have customizable parameters:

• The .Active Directory Inventory Solution defines large groups, deeply nested groups, and stale users. These parameters can be customized.

  • Customize within .Active Directory Inventory > 3-AD_Exceptions Job analysis tasks

    NOTE: Changes to an exception’s definition will affect all jobs dependent upon that exception as well as all Access Information Center Exceptions reports.
