Integrity Checker runs as a service
on your server. The process is always running in the
background and will quietly and efficiently watch the Shares
that you select for new and changed files and attaches
integrity stamps to these files. You can use Integrity
Checker to verify integrity stamps. You can also use
the Integrity Checker PC client to verify integrity stamps
which are created by the Integrity Checker server |
|
|
|
Open the Server Console on your PC
and select the
Download The PC
Client Software link from the Common Tasks area.
The PC client supports Windows xp, Vista, and 7 |
|
|
|
A web browser will open to your
Server. Click the
Download the Integrity
Checker PC Client link to download the client installer
to your PC. After the download is complete, run the
IntegrityCheckerClient.exe install-package to install the
client on your PC |
|
|
|
Run the PC Client
from the Program Files\IntegrityChecker folder. You will see the
Integrity Stamp window. This window will show you the
current integrity stamp information (integrity date, file
size, SHA-1 hash) in the upper portion on the window |
|
|
|
If you have an existing 160bit
SHA-1 hash (i.e. typically supplied for you when you
download a large file from the internet) then you can
enter the supplied hash in the 'Your Hash' text box and
press the Compare button to verify the integrity of the
file. If this fails then your file was probably
downloaded incorrectly and you should retry the download
from the original source of the file |
|
|
|
You can also re-scan the file on
your server to verify the file, as it currently exists, still
matches the file as it was scanned by Integrity Checker in
the past.
Press the Compare button to run this scan. If this
fails then your hard drive might be going bad. |
