Title
Scheduled Forest Recovery notifications are not sent -
Description
When running a Forest Recovery verify settings task from the console manually, it appears to complete successfully and a notification is received.
When running the same thing from a scheduled task, no notification is received.
-
Cause
The task is potentially timing out after 10 minutes, which is hard coded in the PowerShell script that initiates this task on a schedule.
Running the same task from the console does not use the PowerShell script. -
Resolution
Workaround:
Locate and edit the following file: \Program Files\Quest\Recovery Manager for Active Directory Forest Edition\VerifyProject.ps1
Find the following entry:
$timedOut = ((Get-Date) - $startTime).TotalMinutes -gt 10
Change the number (10) to a value relevant to your environment, i.e. a higher number than the task takes to complete when run through the console.Status:This behavior is resolved in version 10.1 and higher of Recovery Manager for Active Directory Forest Edition and Disaster Recovery Edition.
Future versions will use a default timeout value of 180 minutes, up from 10 minutes prior.
