“Password expiration” – Select this task type to search for accounts with passwords
due to expire in the specified number of days. This scan searches for accounts whose
passwords will be expired by the primary domain controller’s password policy. The
date used for calculating the time until expiration in the task is drawn from the clock on
the machine running ARCWeb, NOT the domain controller. Thus, any inconsistencies
in the system clocks between the primary domain controller and the machine running
ARCWeb could cause inaccuracies in detecting the appropriate users.
“Self Reset Configuration” – Select this report type to search for users who have not
completed enrollment in the self-service verification questions.
“Account inactivity” – Select this task type to search for accounts which have been
inactive (have not logged in) for the specified number of days. Any time a login is
recorded on any domain controller that ARC is able to contact, the timestamp will be
reset. However, if a domain controller goes offline, this information may be inaccurate,
as the timestamps stored on that domain controller will no longer be available. The
date used for calculating the time until expiration in the task is drawn from the clock on
the machine running ARCWeb, NOT the domain controller. Thus, any inconsistencies
in the system clocks between the primary domain controller and the machine running
ARCWeb could cause inaccuracies in detecting the appropriate users.

by checking the task’s checkbox and clicking the “Run Selected Tasks Now” button. This

keep “on-demand” tasks in the “Inactive” section and run them whenever required.
