Environment
- Tableau Server
- Active Directory
Resolution
Use the following workaround.
- Create a batch script to run the commands. The following is an example script that combines signing in, synchronizing one group, and signing out. The script uses the administrator account credentials.
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Tableau\Tableau Server\8.0\bin\tabcmd” login -s <servername> -u <username> -p <password>
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Tableau\Tableau Server\8.0\bin\tabcmd” syncgroup "<group>"
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Tableau\Tableau Server\8.0\bin\tabcmd” logout - Use Windows Task Scheduler to schedule the script. For more information, see the Scheduling section in the Server Backup and Maintenance Automation article in the Tableau knowledge base.
Cause
