Scheduling Report Delivery to Recipients

Once the data has been collected, the reports can be generated. Using the Schedule tab of the Report Manager, you can create a schedule that will automatically deliver the desired reports to your specified recipients.

To do this, you must:

1
Copy the Domain Users without Recent Logons report to My Reports, the only container from which you can schedule a report.
2
Create a report schedule.
3
Configure your SMTP server.
4
Schedule the report, and provide parameter values.
To copy the report so you can schedule it
1
On the Report tab of the Report Manager, expand Report Library | Active Directory.
2
Locate the Domain Users without Recent Logons report, and drag it into the My Reports container.
If you did not rename the report when you modified an existing report (see Modify an Existing Report), the report will have a (1) after its name so you can differentiate them.
To create a report schedule
1
In the Report Manager, click the Schedule tab.
2
Click +New Schedule.
3
Name the schedule Compliance Reports.
4
Click Monthly, and select day 1 of the month.
5
Launch the Credential Manager, and add an account that has read access to the database.
6
In the Delivery section, choose a network share where the reports will be delivered.
Ensure the credentials provided in the previous step have write access to this share.
Leave the dialog box open to configure email delivery.
To configure email delivery
1
In the Delivery section of the Create or Edit Schedule dialog box, enable the Send Email option.
2
Click Configure mail server, and enter the server name and port number.
3
Launch the Credential Manager, and select the account used to access the mail server.
If your SMTP server is configured to accept anonymous connections, you do not need to provide an account.
You can test your connection to ensure the mail server is properly configured.
4
In the From field, type the email address of the sender.
5
In the To field, type the email addresses of the recipients, separated by a comma or semicolon.
6
Click OK.
The schedule card is created.
To schedule a report
1
On the Compliance Reports schedule card, click +Add a report to this schedule.
2
Select Domain Users without Recent Logons, and click OK.
3
Click the Modify Report Parameters icon for the Domain Users without Recent Logons report.
4
In the Report Parameters pane, complete the Parameter Set Name: by typing [Domain Name] Users not logged in for 90 days to identify the parameter values you will use.
5
In the Include the following domains parameter, type the domain name, and click Add.
You can also click Search, locate and add the domain, and click OK.
6
In the Users not logged on in the last (days) parameter, change the number of days to 90.
7
Click Save.

Your report will now run automatically, reporting on the data from your scheduled discovery.

Change History Reporting

Enterprise Reporter can help you quickly identify changes that have occurred in your environment. If you enable change history, a record of all changes over time is kept. You can then report on these changes, and ensure that required changes have been made, or investigate unwanted changes. You can track changes to:

•
Group membership
•
Active Directory domains
•
Computers
•
NTFS files, folders or shares
•
Registry keys or values
•
SQL servers or databases
Scenario

As part of your job, you are responsible for monitoring changes to critical services. Once a week, you must generate a report to ensure only expected changes are being made. Since collecting change history involves more data, you want to scale up your cluster to handle the increased traffic.

You will need to take the following steps:

•
Add Another Node to a Cluster
•
Enable Change History for the Computer Discovery Type
•
Create and Schedule a Discovery
•
Scheduling the Report

Add Another Node to a Cluster

Each target is assigned to a node, balancing the distribution across the nodes until all the nodes are processing as many tasks as they are able. If no nodes are available to process the task, it must wait until a node becomes available.

When you run a computer discovery, each computer in the discovery is separate task that can be assigned to a node. In this case, adding nodes will speed up the performance of your discovery. This is particularly important as we are collecting change history data as well, which will increase the time taken to process each task.

In this scenario, you are going to add another node to handle collecting more data from a larger number of targets.

To create a node
1
On the Manage Discovery Clusters pane, select the cluster you created.
2
In the bottom pane, on the Discovery Nodes tab, click Add Node.
3
Browse to the computer where the node is to be created, and click OK.
4
Select the service account from the Credential Manager.
If you want to use a different account, you can add it to the Credential Manager.
5
Click Add.
All other configuration is optional.

Enable Change History for the Computer Discovery Type

You configure change history at a global level for each discovery. All discoveries of that type will collect this data. When you create a discovery, the Name page indicates whether change history is enabled for the discovery type.

In this scenario, it is important to enable change history before running the first discovery, so that all changes are captured.

To enable history for a computer discovery
1
On the Configuration page, click Manage global change history settings.
A button shows the current status of the change history configuration for each discovery type.
2
For the Computer discovery type, click Disabled to toggle the setting.
The button changes to Enabled, indicating that Change History data will be collected.
3
Click Close.
