  3. Specify the date range you want to search.

    Range

    Specify the start date of the date range, the end date, or both. Specify the dates in the format MM/DD/YY, where MM is the month, DD is the day, and YY is a two-digit year. You can specify dates in the range from Jan 1, 1971 to December 31, 2037.

    If you specify only a start date or only an end date, clear the check box for the date you do not specify.

    For the past n months

    Specify how many months before the current date to include in the search range. You can specify a number from 1 to 999. The default is 1 month. If you have searched by date in the past, the last value you specified is automatically entered in this area. If the number of months you specify makes the beginning of the search range earlier than January 1, 1971, the search range will be from January 1, 1971 to the current date.

    For the past n days

    Specify how many days before the current date to include in the search range. You can specify a number from 1 to 999. The default is 1 day. If you have searched by date in the past, the last value you specified is automatically entered in this area. If the number of days you specify makes the beginning of the search range earlier than January 1, 1971, the search range will be from January 1, 1971 to the current date.

  4. Specify the search conditions, and then click Find.

    The search process begins, and the search results appear in the Date-based Search Results area at the bottom of the window.

    You can resize the Find dialog box to make the search results more visible by dragging its borders.

  5. Select a destination in the Date-based Search Results area, and then click Jump. Alternatively, double-click the destination.

    The System Configuration window becomes active and displays information about the host you selected.
