By default, an archive server announces itself
over the network to clients using a broadcast interface over port
3030. Thus, the View Setup wizard or
Administration tool can list the archive server
automatically.
When a script or Active Directory policy
distributes a vault view, the client uses the first archive
server that is announced to it. This may not be the correct server, for example, in a
replicated environment with multiple servers.
If you have problems using scripted views or
policies over WAN or restricted networks, add the appropriate
server manually using the SOLIDWORKS PDM Settings
policy.
