Service Configuration Tool – CloudM

The 'Service Configuration Tool' will be installed by default on both 'Basic' and 'Advanced' installations of a Primary or Secondary Migration Service and is useful for controlling service settings, starting and stopping the migration service and viewing service logs from CloudM Migrate.

This can be accessed from within CloudM Migrate from the Tools menu or by clicking 'Start' > 'All Programs' > 'CloudM' > 'CloudM Migrate Service Manager'

Most of the options for the CloudM Migrate service can be left at the default settings. The setting that you are most likely to change is Maximum User Migrations, which controls the number of users that can be migrated simultaneously on one server.

This tool will allow you to :

Make configuration changes to the service running on the machine this application is installed on. If any changes have been made and applied by clicking the 'Update Configuration' button you will be required to restart the service. This can be done by clicking on the arrow next to 'Stop' and then clicking on 'Restart' The following configuration items can be updated:
