  • 1.  Task Queue Limit Reached

    Posted Oct 11, 2016 09:47 AM

    I am doing a mass clean of sensitive data stored on local drives.  In the first phase, I am looking for certain file types and then examining their last access date.  If that date is 24 months old or older, I want to move that file to quarantine.  I have run three rounds of cleanup (for different subnets) and have successfully moved over 160,000 files.  However, the scan also failed to move over 100,000 files to quarantine.  The error given in most cases is "Task Queue Limit Reached".  I am assuming that this is related to the variable Quarantine.MAX_QUEUE_SIZE.int.  That is currently set to the default value of 100.  Is their a down side to revising this to a larger value (like 1000) while I'm doing the mass moves or would it be better just to rerun the scan until all of the files are moved?
