Scripts and workflows are grouped together to automate tasks based on requirements. These scripts are executed on specific AD servers or exchange servers using a proxy service called the Execution Service.

This execution service is a separate Windows application that runs as a service on the target machine. To summarize, Proxy Configurations manage the execution of scripts on the target machine, which automates tasks and eliminates manual execution of scripts.

Proxy Configuration List page

This page provides information about the machines and their status where Orchestration Proxy is installed. The proxy list will be displayed based on the logged-in user’s domain access, also known as multi-tenant data.

Note:

Proxy configurations list page will support multi-tenant to serve the multiple customers, each one of them being isolated in terms of data. Using Multi-tenant feature, the Managed Service Providers (MSP) or Global Domain can make sure that the user’s data of one domain is not accessible to another.

Proxy Configuration list page displays the total number of proxy hosts and the corresponding number of up(active) proxies in green or down (inactive) proxies in red.

It displays the following proxy details:

Host Name - Displays the hostname of the machine.
IP Address - Displays the IP Address.
Status - Depicts the proxy server status, if Up or Down.
Last Communicated - Refers to the date and time when the proxy server last communicated.
