Preparing for a Server Consolidation 39
5.4 Scheduling a Consolidation Project to Run at
a Later Time
The Server Consolidation Utility lets you schedule projects to run at the most convenient time. This
means that you can create a consolidation project during the day and schedule it to run during the
night when there is a smaller chance that files that are to be moved will be open and being worked
on.
The Server Consolidation Utility uses the Scheduled Tasks capability built into Windows to
schedule a consolidation project to run at a time that is most convenient to you.
TIP: Before scheduling a consolidation project, Novell recommends that you complete the
verification process and resolve all errors. When you have verified the project, resolved any errors,
and reached the Start Novell Server Consolidation Utility dialog box, then the project can be
scheduled.
To schedule a project to run at a later time:
1 Ensure that a Server Consolidation Project has been created.
Write down the project name and path of its location for later reference.
2 Click Start > Settings > Control Panel .
3 Double-click the Scheduled Tasks icon.
4 Double-click the Add Scheduled Task icon.

When the Scheduled Task Wizard launches, click Next .
6 Select the Novell NetWare Server Consolidation Utility from the list of programs provided,
then click
Next .
7 Assign the scheduled task a name, select its frequency, then click Next . You can run a project as
often as you want.
8 Select the start time and date for the project to run, then click Next .
9 Enter the Windows username and password of the user that will perform the task, then click
Next .
10
Verify that the time displayed for running the project is correct. If it is, check the Open
Advanced Properties for This Task When I Click Finish check box, then click Finish .
11 After the Advanced Properties dialog box opens, click Task .
12 In the dialog box that opens, complete the Run field.
The dialog box is populated with a pathname that ends in
\fc.exe
. Add the following
parameters, separated by a single space, to this pathname for the scheduled consolidation
project to run:
• (Required) The pathname, in quotation marks, to the consolidation project that you are
scheduling to run. For example:
“c:\my projects\sc1.mdb” (where sc1.mdb is the saved project)
• (Required) The letter Y, to automatically run the selected Server Consolidation project.
• (Required) The password for the admin on the source server.
• (Required) The password for the admin on the destination server.
