Schedule a report

July 08, 2021 Views: 595

The script schedules delivery of a report for a user. The script should be executed in Windows PowerShell. When prompted, specify the credentials of the Adaxes service account.

The report will be delivered via email as an attachment in PDF format. For delivery, the report will be generated with its scope set to all managed domains (Everywhere) and will include the following columns: name, description, title. For details on specifying a scope and parameter values for report generation, see Generating reports.

Parameters:

  • $serviceHost - Specifies the host name of the computer where Adaxes service is installed.
  • $scheduledTaskDN - Specifies the distinguished name (DN) of the report scheduled task. For information on how to get the DN, see Get the DN of a directory object.
  • $reportDN - Specifies the distinguished name (DN) of the report to schedule.
  • $userDN - Specifies the distinguished name (DN) of the user to schedule the report for.
