Execute initial scan after creation

Activate this option to process the first scan immediately after the creation.

Options

User name/(S3) Access key

The name of the user account in which context the scan should be excuted.

Note: For Windows file system scans this setting is optional and need to include the domain of the user if present (syntax: "<domain>\<user>").

Password/(S3) Secret Access key

The password of the user account.

Follow Mount Points and External Symbolic Links

This option is relevant for NTFS drives only. You can decide if a scan should follow symbolic links and mount points within the selected directory branch (See NTFS Mount Points for additional information).

Calculate MD5 checksums for files

Activate this option if you want to use the MD5 checksum of files content as indicator to identify "Duplicate Files".
This option is deactivated by default because this feature needs a remarkable amount of space in the SpaceObServer database and also increases the work to be executed by the SpaceObServer scan service.

Note: The calculation of the MD5 checksums is done by the SpaceObServer scan service, when there is no scan job to execute. You do not need to perform an update scan after activating this option.

Calculate Permissions (ACLs) and store in database

Activate this Option, to store the permissions based on the Active Control List in the database.

(SSH) Server Port

The port used for the SSH protocol on this server. Default SSH port is 22.

(Exchange) Include Organizational Units of Active Directory as own level

Includes Organizational Units (OU) of the Active Directory as own level in the directory tree of the Exchange scan.

(Exchange) Anonymous email subjects

Prevents showing subjects of emails in plain text as element names.

Note:

You can easily add multiple scans at once via the OLE Automation. Further information can be found here.
