Finding the Vault ID

Before you configure Active Directory, find the unique vault ID of the vault view you want to distribute.

To find the vault ID:

  1. On a client computer, start the Administration tool by doing one of the following:
    • On Windows 7 and Windows Server systems prior to Windows Server 2012, from the Windows Start menu, select All Programs > SOLIDWORKS PDM > Administration.
    • On Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 or later, on the Apps screen, under SOLIDWORKS PDM, click Administration.
  2. Right-click the vault view and click Properties.
  3. In the File Vault Properties dialog box, copy the vault ID and paste it into a file.
    You can also find the vault ID in the vault database SystemInfo table.
