KACE Desktop Authority 11.3 - Getting Started Guide

Replication files and their targets

Note: Please refer to the File Paths appendix for the correct path(s) based on the version of Desktop Authority you are using.

Desktop Authority uses replication as a method of publishing Desktop Authority configurations to selected targets, which are usually Domain Controllers.

A log file is created during the replication process and lists each file that is published and to which folder. The log file is named SlRepl.txt.

This file can be located on the Operations Master in either (32-bit OS) - %Program Files%\Quest\Desktop Authority\Desktop Authority Manager or (64-bit OS) - %Program Files (x86)%\Quest\Desktop Authority\Desktop Authority Manager.

User Management

User Management files are published from the %Program Files%\Quest\Desktop Authority\Desktop Authority Manager\Scripts or %Program Files (x86)%\Quest\Desktop Authority\Desktop Authority Manager\Scripts, which is shared as SLscripts$.

User Management files are replicated to the User Management replication folder specified in Server Manager. This folder, by default, is \\server_name\NETLOGON (%windir%\SYSVOL\sysvol\[Domain Name]\scripts folder is shared as NETLOGON), but can be changed if necessary.
