Changing this value requires that the Continuous Protection Agent Service be restarted on the server.
|
|

|
Specifies the IPv6 Multicast address where all discovery traffic is sent.
The default value is ff02:0:0:0:0:0:0:1, which signifies all nodes on the local link.

DelayDirChangeNotifications
|
If set to 1, this parameter prevents the CPS filter driver from delaying the completion of Directory Change Notifications. The only time it is necessary is when the Windows “Services for Macintosh” (SFM) is running on the server where CPS is installed. Under conditions of heavy usage, SFM may fail if this setting is not made. However, there are no known issues with SFM after the setting is made.
The default value is 1. Set a value of 0 only when the Microsoft Services for Macintosh is running on the system.
Although making this setting will allow SFM to run, it will also create a problem for the Windows “Simple Mail Transport Protocol” (SMTP) service. It will prevent SMTP from “picking up” (i.e., noticing the appearance of) new mail items in its “pickup” folder. There is no way to get both SMTP and SFM working on the same system where CPS is installed. The user must make a choice as to which Windows service that will run.
Changing this value requires that the server be restarted.
