Site Parameters determine the behavior of a large number of items and processes within Scense.
Per site it is possible to deviate from the standard set by ‘Default’-Site parameters. Computers in an additional site will receive all Site Parameters from the ‘Own’ Site, and complement those with the ‘Default’ Site parameters.
To be able to control the Site Parameters a specific computer will receive, the administrator can use the ‘SiteParameter Prognosis’ option within the context menu of the ‘Sites’ folder.
Configuring Sites
Sites can be used to offer a satisfactory performance for Application- and Repository features in a distributed environment.
By default Scense Setup creates the ‘Default’-Site that can be configured to a certain extent.
More sites with different settings can be created if desired.
SiteCode.
The site code is the key of a site object. The site code is saved in the Scense variable %SiteCode% and can be used in Tasksets.
Site Type.
In this selector you can identify the type of site. Scense distinguishes three different kinds of sites:
- Domain Group Reference
The group membership of the computer account determines the choice for the Scense Site. - Network Address and Mask
The Scense Site is identified by an IP-address and a network mask of a computer. - Directory-Site
The current Active Directory-Site for the computer corresponds with the Scense Site.
Configuring Logon script
After the Scense Client installation the workstation is prepared to automatically start the Scense Client at logon.
Another way of doing this is to configure this at domain level.
In the above example ‘ScenseStart.vbs’ is used as the logon script.
Scensestart.vbs
The content of a script starting Scense Client could look as following:
