Scheduling the synchronization process
Once you have run the initial synchronization, you should set up a scheduled service to run automatic updates in the background.
Make sure Windows Task Scheduler is running
To schedule synchronization updates from the Directory Synchronization Client, first ensure that the Windows Task Scheduler service is started. To check this:
1.
Select Start > Administrative Tools > Services.
2.
In the Services window, scroll down to Task Scheduler.
If the status is Started, you need do nothing. Otherwise, do one of the following:
*
If the status column is empty, right-click Task Scheduler and select Start.
*
If the status is Paused, right-click Task Scheduler and select Resume.
Create the synchronization schedule
To create a synchronization schedule in the Directory Synchronization Client:
1.
In the Configuration window, click Summary, then click Schedule.
2.
In the Run at field, enter the time you want the process to run.
3.
Specify how often you want to run the process (in months, weeks, days, or hours).
4.
Select whether to run the process on any day within your chosen schedule, or on specific days.
5.
If you are running the process on specific days, do one of the following:
*
Mark Day of Month, then click the dates on which to run the process.
*
Mark Day of Week, then click the days on which to run the process.
*
Mark both boxes and then click the dates and days you want. For example, you can run the process each Friday, and on the 30th of each month.
6.
Click Schedule. The calendar icon changes from gray to color to show that the synchronization is scheduled.
 
* 
Note 
If the Directory Synchronization Client is running at the same time as the scheduled task, the synchronization will fail.
Removing the synchronization schedule
You can edit your synchronization schedule at any time in the Directory Synchronization Client. To cancel the schedule, use the Windows Control Panel.
1.
Select Start > Control Panel > Scheduled Tasks.
2.
Right-click the task "Sync Client-example", where example is the name of your configuration profile, then select Delete.
3.
Click Yes to confirm.
