You can configure network detection settings for the SyncTool without using Active Directory.
Network detection settings allow you to use Dynamic Environment Manager files locally and synchronize only based on configurable network thresholds. You configure network detection settings in the NoAD.xml file.
| Setting | XML Attribute | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Prefer IPv6 when resolving host names |
PreferIPv6 | To enable this setting, set the value to 1. Controls the behavior when a host name resolves to both IPv4 and IPv6. If you have not configured network thresholds, you do not need to configure this setting. |
| DFS namespace support | DFSNamespaceSupport | To enable this setting, set the value to 1.
Enable this setting to perform the network measurements correctly when using DFS namespaces to store Dynamic Environment Manager files. If you have not configured network thresholds, you do not need to configure this setting. |
| Network measurement settings | PingSize
PingCount
PingTimeout
PingCache | Control how network measurements are performed when network thresholds are configured. The ping cache setting controls how long network measurement results are retained, to prevent performing multiple measurements for Dynamic Environment Manager network paths that are hosted on the same server. If these settings are not configured, 3 pings are done of 2048 bytes with a timeout of 5 seconds. The default ping cache is 60 seconds. Set the following values:
|
| Network threshold: Bandwidth | MinimumBandWidth | The administrator specifies the minimum bandwidth that must be available for synchronization to occur. You can combine this setting with the latency threshold. Specify this value in kilobytes per second (kB/s). |
| Network threshold: Latency | MaximumLatency | The administrator specifies the maximum latency acceptable for synchronization to occur. You can combine this setting with the bandwidth threshold. Specify this value in milliseconds (ms). |
| Force synchronization at login | ForceSyncAtLogOn
ForceConfigSyncAtLogOn
ForceRepositorySyncAtLogOn
ForceProfileArchiveSyncAtLogOn | Overrides the behavior where synchronization does not occur when network thresholds do not meet the configured requirements during login.
Use this setting to always synchronize all Dynamic Environment Manager files at login. If you want to synchronize only certain file types, also select one or more of the other options.
To enable this setting, set the ForceSyncAtLogOn value to 1.
For each type of synchronization, set the value to 1 to limit the items to synchronize:
|
| Force synchronization at logout | ForceSyncAtLogOff
ForceConfigSyncAtLogOff
ForceRepositorySyncAtLogoff
ForceProfileArchiveSyncAtLogOff | Overrides the behavior where synchronization does not occur when network thresholds do not meet the configured requirements during logout.
Enable Force sync at logout to always synchronize all Dynamic Environment Manager files at logout. If you want to synchronize only certain file types, also select one or more of the other options.
To enable this setting, set the ForceSyncAtLogOff value to 1.
For each type of synchronization, set the value to 1 to limit the items to synchronize:
|
| Force synchronization in resident mode | ForceSyncDuringSession
ForceConfigSyncDuringSession
ForceRepositorySyncDuringSession
ForceProfileArchiveSyncDuringSession | Overrides the behavior where synchronization does not occur when the network thresholds do not meet the configured requirements in resident mode.
Enable Force sync in resident mode to always synchronize all Dynamic Environment Manager files during a session. If you want to synchronize only certain file types, also select one or more of the other options.
To enable this setting, set the ForceSyncDuringSession value to 1.
For each type of synchronization, set the value to 1 to limit the items to synchronize:
