- View the status of the servers in the Microsoft Servers panel, as described in Monitoring Managed Microsoft Servers. Newly added servers first display a status of Connecting as the Grid member contacts the Microsoft servers. The status changes to OK after the Grid member successfully connects to the Microsoft server.
- View the data synchronized from the Microsoft servers. To view DNS data, navigate to the DNS view you specified. For information, see Viewing Zones. To view DHCP data, navigate to the Networks tab of the network view that you specified. For information, see Managing IPv4 DHCP Data.
Network conditions and the amount of data can affect the synchronization time. Therefore, you might not be able to view all of the synchronized data immediately.
- Use Smart Folders to organize the Microsoft servers and their data. For example, you can create a folder for DNS zones and another folder for DHCP scopes synchronized from a Microsoft server. For information about Smart Folders, see Chapter 3, Smart Folders.
- Update the synchronized data. For information, see Chapter 35, Managing Microsoft DNS Services, and Chapter 36, Managing Microsoft DHCP Services.
You can also use Global Search to search for synchronized data, such as zones and IP addresses. For information, see
