We're very excited to announce some changes to our CheckCentral subscription plans that are rolling out today. We're doing away with the old tiered plans, and moving to a system where you only pay for the checks you need, as you need them. Getting started with CheckCentral has never been easier or more affordable!

Starting today, you'll be able to add or remove checks in groups of 10, with each group costing $5. In addition, all paying customers get access to all of our Enterprise features, including unlimited users, API access, and custom dashboards! We’re also removing the limit on the number of groups that can be configured. Our discounts for pre-paying quarterly or yearly are still available as well.

For our existing customers, you will be grandfathered in at your current subscription rate, and you can easily change the amount of checks on your account via the Subscription page.

If you have any questions or comments about these changes, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

I'm an existing customer. How do I make changes to my check allotment?

After logging in to your CheckCentral organization, click the Subscription link in the top menu. At the top of the Enterprise plan column, there's a slider you can drag left or right to decrease or increase the number of checks you're paying for. The updated monthly subscription cost will be displayed immediately.

I'm a new customer. How many checks do I get during the 60-day free trial?

As many as you like! On the Subscription page, you can adjust the slider to increase or decrease the number of checks at any time during your trial.

What do I do if I'm not sure about these new plans?

Contact us with any questions that you have and we'll be glad to help out!

Save the attached file (checkReplication.ps1) to a directory on the Active Directory server you'd like to monitor. You'll need to schedule it using Task Scheduler. If you haven't changed the execution policy on that server yet, you can do so by opening PowerShell and entering the following:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

In Task Scheduler, create a new basic task.

• Name can be 'Check Replication' or something similar
• Trigger can be daily (you can tweak that later if you'd like to check more frequently)
• Action is going to be 'Start a program'
• Program is powershell.exe
• Argument is -File "C:\scripts\checkReplication.ps1" (update with the actual location you saved the PowerShell script).

Ok! Next step is creating the check in CheckCentral. Add a new check and use the following settings:

• Frequency: scheduled
• Schedule Type: regular interval
• Emails are expected: every 24 hours
• Set as failed when an email is late: after 90 minutes

Copy the email address that is displayed here and update the checkReplication.ps1 script with it (it's the $msgAddress variable)

• Default Status: Failure
• Success Rule: check the Condense Whitespace box, and Body Text - Complex Match - "0 / 5"{4}

Complex matches are pretty powerful, and in this instance we're telling CheckCentral to look at the output of the command and to count how many times "0 / 5" shows up, and to only mark the check as successful if that string appears exactly 4 times. Now, this is just for two Active Directory servers. If you have more in your environment, just open up a command prompt on an Active Directory server and run repadmin.exe /replsummary and have a look at the output. When I run this, I want to make sure there are 0 / 5 errors for each of the entries listed. In this particular environment, that's 4 times, and that's where the {4} comes from above. If you have more servers, that number is going to be higher, so just enter that in instead.

Save your check, and try running your scheduled task. If all is well, an email should show up under Recent Activity, and hopefully the dot is green!
