The Active Administrator Path Selection page displays the default path to the folder where the Active Administrator data is stored.
The install process creates the ActiveAdministrator share, which contains five subfolders in which Active Administrator data is stored: ActiveTemplates, ADBackups, Config, GPOHistory, and GPORepository. You can create your own share as long as it resides on a server that is accessible by all Active Administrator users. Make sure the share has sufficient hard drive capacity. You can estimate that each GPO initially takes 2MB to back up. Each version saved thereafter is significantly smaller, about 10k on average. If you have a large Active Directory database, you should have 10GB available.
IMPORTANT: If you create a share manually, you must use the name ActiveAdministrator for that share. Set authenticated users full control on the share permissions. If you would like to restrict permissions further, you can change the NTFS permissions. |
