====================================

AUTOMATICALLY STOPPING REMOTE AGENTS

====================================

To change the default settings so that Domain Migration Administrator agents on remote computers automatically stop after a specified amount of time, add the following entry to the Settings table of the PROTAR.MDB file or to the <projectname>.MDB file if you are migrating using a project: 

Property	VarType	Value
AgentService.AgentSuicide	3	1440

 Enter a "number of minutes before shutdown" for the Value entry. The example shows 24 hours (24*60 or 24 hours times 60 minutes). Ensure that the Value entry allows enough time for the agent to complete all the required migration tasks. If the agent expires before the tasks are complete, the migration will be incomplete.
