Issues with Topology scan when harvesting forests

Having issues with the time it takes the topology scan whenever forests are being harvested in Change Auditor, is there a way to improve this?

The Topology Scan also includes workstation machines by default, which could negatively impact the overall performance of the scan

Disable the Topology Harvesting for Workstation client:

1. Open the Registry on each Coordinator server

2. Here, we need to create the "TopologyHarvestIgnoreWorkStations" entry as mentioned below:

Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Quest\ChangeAuditor\Coordinator
Value Name: TopologyHarvestIgnoreWorkStations
Value Type: DWORD (32-bit)
Value: 1

3. Once the value is entered, close the Registry and restart the coordinator service.

4. Wait for 1-2 hours and see if there is any improvement.

NOTE: In big environments, disabling the Topology scan of workstations could generate a large number of internal events for "Topology server removed", you can prevent this by disabling this specific even class in your Audit Events configuration (View > Administration > Audit Events) before creating the "TopologyHarvestIgnoreWorkStations" entry in the coordinator server.
