5.11 Testing a Cleanup Rule

This procedure lets you verify that File Dynamics cleans up a user’s storage according to the user home folder policy that you created earlier.

  1. Use Active Directory Users and Computers to delete TESTUSER2.

  2. If you chose to delay the cleanup of user storage for a set amount of days in Step 11.b, open the Admin Client, click the Identity Driven tab and then click Events to view any information indicating the deferred number of days for the storage cleanup.

  3. Click the Engine tab.

  4. Click Path Analysis.

  5. In the left pane, browse to the location where the TESTUSER2 resided and verify that the folder has been deleted.

  6. (Conditional) If you set your policy to vault deleted storage, browse to the location in the left pane where you chose to vault deleted storage in Step 11.c and verify that TESTUSER2 was vaulted:

    1. If you set your policy to delay the cleanup of user storage for a set amount of days in Step 11.b, click Events and then from the View Events drop-down menu, select Deferred Only to view details on deferred action.

    2. Right-click the listed deferred action, and select Properties. In the Properties dialog box, then verify that the Next Process Time displays a date that corresponds to the number of days you set in your policy for the deleted storage to be cleaned up.

    3. Close the dialog box.

  7. Because this is a test user, perform the storage cleanup immediately by once again right-clicking the listed deferred action and selecting Make Eligible.

  8. Click the Engine tab.

  9. Click Path Analysis and browse to the location in the left pane where you viewed the vaulted storage, then verify that the storage has been cleaned up.
