Figure 9. Replication Share configuration
To create a Replication Share, identify one device at each remote location to act as a Replication Device. The appliance copies all the replication items to the Replication Device at the specified destination path. The replication process automatically restarts if it is stopped due to a network failure or replication schedule. If stopped, the replication process restarts at the point it was stopped.
Sneaker net share: You can create a folder and copy the contents of an existing replication folder to it. You can then specify this folder as the new replication folder in the appliance. The appliance determines whether the new folder has all the replication items present and replicates only the new ones, which conserves bandwidth. You can manually copy the contents of replication folder to a new folder. The replication folder created in a device follows following hierarchy:
\\machinename\foldername\repl2\replicationitems folder
The device name and folder name is user defined while repl2 is automatically created by appliance. The replication items folder includes the folder for patches, kbots, upgrade files, and applications.
Replication items are copied in this order:

You can create Replication Shares on managed devices.
To create a Replication Share you must:
• |
Have write permission on the destination path to write the software files. |
Replication Shares can be created only on devices that appear on the Devices list in Inventory. If the device you want to use is not on the Devices list, you need to create an inventory record for the device before you can use it as a Replication Share.

The path used by devices in the replication label to copy items from the replication drive. \\fileservername\directory\kace_sma\ Other devices need read permission to copy replication items from this shared folder. | |
The details of the service account required to connect to the device and run commands. Select existing credentials from the drop-down list, or select Add credential to add credentials not already listed. |

Optional: After you have tested the Replication Share, return to 3 and enable Failover To Appliance. |
You can view details of devices used as Replication Shares.

In the Device column, click the name of a Replication Share to display the Replication Schedule Detail page. |

View the Replication queue: To view items that are queued for replication, click Show Replication Queue below the configuration information. This view is displayed by default when you access the page. |
◦ |
View the Replication inventory: To view items that have been replicated to the share, click Show Share Inventory below the configuration information. |
◦ |
Delete the Replication queue: To view replication items that are marked for deletion, click Show Delete Queue below the configuration information. |
Credentials that have been added to the appliance's Credentials Management page are available for selection on drop-down lists in the Inventory (Discovery, Provisioning, and Agentless device management), Distribution (Managed Installations, File Synchronizations, and Replication), and Scripting (Configuration Policies and Security Policies) sections.
In addition, credentials that are updated on the Credentials Management page are automatically updated wherever they are used in the various appliance components. You do not need to independently update each item that uses the credentials.
However, the credentials you add to the appliance must match the credentials on the target systems. If you change the credentials on target systems, you must change them on the appliance's Credentials Management page as well.
NOTE: The Credentials Management drop-down list is not available on LDAP configuration pages, and the feature is not used to manage user credentials for accessing the appliance Administrator Console or User Console, which use single sign on and LDAP authentication.
