# Refresh assessment results

The Active Directory vulnerability assessment automatically refreshes on a pre-defined daily schedule at the same time the forest topology is re-discovered. You may also update the assessment results manually at any time.

## Refresh domain controllers and assessment results

1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Protect > Active Directory.

2. On the Forests tab, click the forest.

3. In the Summary tile, click Refresh domain controllers .

   This action performs two functions:

   - Refreshes the Active Directory topology displayed on the Content tab.

   - Re-runs the vulnerability assessment and updates assessment results.

   This ensures that:

   - Newly added domain controllers are discovered.

   - Removed domain controllers are no longer evaluated.

   - Updated configurations are reflected in findings.

## When to refresh

You should refresh the forest client:

- After deploying agents to additional domain controllers.

- After remediating identified vulnerabilities.

- After adding or removing domain controllers.

- After making significant Group Policy or security configuration changes.

Refreshing ensures that assessment results reflect the current security posture of the environment.

Additionally, the refresh process runs automatically once a day.
