INFO: Completed Deployments Are Purged Every 24 Hours (287107)

IMPORTANT: This article contains information about editing the metabase. Before you edit the metabase, verify that you have a backup copy that you can restore if a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, see the "Configuration Backup/Restore" Help topic in Microsoft Management Console (MMC).

SUMMARY

By default, any completed replication task in Synchronizations view that is older than 24 hours is removed. For example, if you performed four deployments in the morning and four deployments in the afternoon on one day, then at noon on the next day you would only see the last four deployments that were performed. Application Center 2000 removed the first four completed deployments because they were older than 24 hours.

MORE INFORMATION

WARNING: If you edit the metabase incorrectly, you can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall any product that uses the metabase. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems that result if you incorrectly edit the metabase can be solved. Edit the metabase at your own risk.

NOTE: Always back up the metabase before you edit it.

To adjust the age at which completed deployments are removed by Application Center 2000, modify the AsaiDeployLatency property in the Internet Information Services metabase. AsaiDeployLatency is located at AppCenter/Deployments, is hidden by default, and has a value in minutes. To modify the AsaiDeployLatency property, follow this procedure:

Copy Mdutil.exe from the Support folder on the Application Center 2000 CD-ROM to your local hard drive.
At a command prompt, change the directory to where Mdutil.exe is located.
Type mdutil set appcenter/deployments/AsaiDeployLatency X where X is the age in minutes at which Application Center 2000 should remove completed deployments.
Restart Application Center 2000 and Internet Information Services in order to make the new setting take effect.
