WCCE Scheduled Tasks

This section details how to schedule tasks that will run periodically on your WCCE profiles. You will be able to use MSAD Connector to browse Active Directory and retrieve changes (basically computer removal) to trigger certificate revocation. This mechanism works using comparison between Active Directory content (using MSAD connector) and Horizon certificate list based on a specific WCCE profile. If Horizon has a certificate for a holder that does not exist on Active Directory side a revocation will be triggered automatically.
