eseutil location The path to the Exchange eseutil.exe utility (a database maintenance
program), if it is not located at its default installation path.
Run task as system user Choose this option to specify the system login as the account under which the
operation runs.

verification on a remote verification server.
Run task as specified user Choose this option to use the current login or to specify an account as the run

You must provide the following information:
● User name —Specify an account name for the account under which this

The following table describes the context (right-click) options available to you after the Global Verification schedule is
created.
Table 21. Right-Click Options for the Global Verification Schedule
Option Description
Run Now Ignores the scheduled start time and launches the Global Verification task
immediately.
Modify the schedule Displays the Create or Modify Global Verification Task dialog box.
Delete the Schedule Deletes the Global Verification schedule. No scheduled verification is performed
until you create a new schedule manually or specify scheduled verification for a
newly created Smart Copy. The Global Verification times remain as specified in
the last schedule that you created.
Disable Schedule Disables the Global Verification schedule.
When scheduled, the Global Verification task runs as a process named EqlExVerifier.exe, which you can view by using
the Windows Task Manager. Only one instance of the EqlExVerifier.exe process runs as the automated Global
Verification task on a computer at any time.
You can launch two more instances of EqlExVerifier.exe manually, or three instances if the automated Global
Verification task is not currently running.
Run Checksum Verification and Soft Recovery on a Remote Host
To make the best use of computer resources, you can configure a computer to run only the Global Verification task, taking the
Checksum Verification and Soft Recovery workload off your production computers. You specify a Global Verification window
that is specific to the verification server. This window is typically a much longer time period than for a creator server, because
the creator server is in the production environment.
Using a dedicated verification server enables you to process a greater number of Smart Copies, improving your recovery options
and service level. The verification server might be co-located with Smart Copy creator servers, or it might be at a geographically
remote location. However, the verification server requires access to the SAN on which you create and maintain Smart Copies.
Remote Host verification requires two hosts with the same installed versions of ASM/ME and Exchange management tools. A
shared network folder or drive to provide a Smart Copy repository must also be set up. One host functions as the creator server
creating Smart Copies. The second computer acts as the verification server running a Global Verification task that verifies all
unverified Exchange Smart Copies.
The Global Verification window can differ between the local and remote servers. For example, you might configure verification
during an off-peak Global Verification window on the creator server, such as the default 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. window. You might
