Configure the refresh interval for Server Manager

This policy setting allows you to set the refresh interval for Server Manager. Each refresh provides Server Manager with updated information about which server roles and features are installed and configured on the specified server. Server Manager also monitors the status of roles and features installed on the server.

If you enable this policy setting, Server Manager uses the refresh interval specified in the policy setting instead of the Configure Refresh setting in the Server Manager console.

If you disable this policy setting, Server Manager does not refresh automatically. If you do not configure this policy setting, Server Manager uses the Configure Refresh setting in the Server Manager console.

Note: The default refresh interval for Server Manager is 2 minutes.

Supported on: At least Windows Server 2008
