Initial Reconcile for AD User Sync shows "Never Commenced"

[captkras]

I'm doing an initial install and configuration of  FNMS 2020 R1 and have two beacons installed, and showing as Connected and Operating Normally.  I do see data showing every now and again in the Total to upload, including some AD info.

Following the Installing FNMS 2020 R1 guide, on page 81, it has me set up an Import data from Active directory on an inventory beacon.  I ran the Execute now, and then I go to License Compliance > Reconcile, and select the Update inventory for reconciliation, and click reconcile.

I get the Reconcile pending message.  And then after a few mins, it looks like the job has run, but the Status still shows "Never commenced".

If I unclick the Reconcile all publishers, and try to find a "publisher" Nothing appears there.

I'm just trying to get the Users to show up so I can create additional users.

Hi Captkras,

The status might not be showing correctly when another process is running.
There is a delay between the task being executed and the file being transferred to the application server.

If the users are still not showing up, can you check the log below and see if there are any errors?
C:\ProgramData\Flexera Software\Compliance\Logging\ActiveDirectoryImport\ADImport.log

The publishers not showing up might be due to ARL not being downloaded yet if the environment is new.

@NameTooShortSo by the logs, it looks like FNMS things it imported it correctly, but nothing is showing...  (See log above)

Hi @captkras,

Can you run the query below on the compliance database and see if there are any users there?
If there are, check if the ComplianceUserID column is populated or if the isBlacklisted column has a value of 1.

select * from ImportedUser

If there are no users, can you check if the directory below on the application and beacon server has any files?
C:\ProgramData\Flexera Software\Incoming\ActiveDirectory

[captkras]

There is nothing in that DB Table.

On the App/Beacon Server (its all in one), I see a BadLogs Dir, with a failure subdir, and two gz files in it.  I opened one of the gz files, and it has an "ACTDIR file"  Opening it with NotePad++ I see all sorts of AD info in there.  No evidence of errors though.

@NameTooShortSee answer above.

Hi @captkras ,

Put the files back in C:\ProgramData\Flexera Software\Incoming\ActiveDirectory.
Trigger the "Import Active Directory" Windows Scheduler task.
Look in the last entries in the log below should tell you what is the issue preventing the import.
