Scheduling Active Directory Linking

Before any Borrowers are linked to Active Directory, the task that links them needs to run successfully. The details in this topic explain how to schedule the Active Directory task through the application.

The information described below applies only to users running a local version of the library system and we advise that you refer to the installation guide for full setup information. If you are running a version of the library system that is hosted by MLS then we recommend you use our AD troubleshooter which explains the setup process in full.

·Make the necessary configuration for Active Directory as discussed in the topic Configuring Active Directory

·Within Management, click Schedule from the right menu under Tools.

·From the Schedule box that opens, click the Schedule (clock) icon for Directory Services.

Active Directory matches Windows Network accounts by the First name and Last name fields in Active Directory. In order for the linking to work reliably, these fields need to match the ones stored on a borrower record card exactly.

·The Directory Services schedule box will open.

·Enter the settings including the Start Date, Start Time, Frequency and then click OK to save the changes.

·Back on the Schedule window, click the green arrow for the Directory Services to start running the task through immediately.
