Here is an example when running as the local administrator user: GCDS uses a lock file named db.lck under the syncState folder under the windows user profile that is running the program. One of the ITCs that services a large concentration of my customers had a maintenance window that impacted their internet connection.Įvery single instance of GCDS was getting “stuck” and would stop running on the regular schedule. I have learned that any disruption of the internet connection for the machine running GCDS will put it into a state where it will not run again. I have been taking advantage of the option in the Task Scheduler to run a task starting at 7 am and running every hour for 12 hours, then terminate it if it is running for more than 30 minutes. Lately, I have been running Google Cloud Directory Sync (GCDS) more frequently.
