Changing the Schedule for a Task

The Task Schedule property page allows you to schedule your gathering tasks. You can create two types of schedules:

•
Schedules that run once (at a specific time such as December 31 or Now)
•
Schedules that run consecutively at a defined period (such as daily, weekly, or monthly)

MessageStats Report Pack for Exchange Online also allows you to run tasks immediately without changing the task schedule. From the Tasks Summary View, right-click a task and select Run Now.

Enabling Task Logging

MessageStats Report Pack for Exchange Online creates log entries during several processes. You can use the Task Logging page to set up logging at the task level. Normally you would change the logging level if you are working with Quest Support to troubleshoot an issue. For more information about logging levels, see Enabling Task Logging .

Setting Task Retry Attempts

The Task Retry property page lets you specify the number of times you want MessageStats to try to try and run a task. It also lets you specify the number of minutes between each attempt to access the Exchange Online data.

If MessageStats cannot access the data to perform a task, it will continue to attempt to run the task based on the retry parameters you specified

About the Default Configuration

When you first installed MessageStats, certain parameters were used to establish a default configuration. MessageStats records the Service Account setup information and populates the Task Credentials page with the information. MessageStats also lists the Task Execution Server options based on the installation information. The default schedule is defined as Now.

When you create a task, MessageStats automatically populates the pages of the Create Task Wizard with your Default Configuration settings. A check box on the bottom of the wizard pages indicates whether the page is currently set to use the default configuration:

If the check box is selected, the configuration settings on the wizard page are read-only. You must clear the box before you attempt to make changes.
