>From my quick perusal of the documentation on 8.1, that sounds right. I'm running though that manual quickly right now to see how it's put together, and comparing it with the settings as found. Whoever set this up didn't have the email configured for one thing - that's definitely going to change. Also, no jobs were scheduled, AFAICT.
