Secret Server's heartbeat feature allows secrets to have their entered credentials automatically tested for accuracy at a given interval. Using heartbeat on secrets ensures those credentials are up-to-date and can alert administrators if the credentials are changed outside of Secret Server. Heartbeat helps manage secrets and prevent them from being out of sync.
SMB Fallback
To maximize compatibility across versions of Windows when a heartbeat fails Secret Server makes a second attempt to use the Secret via SMB when Use SMB heartbeat fallback is checked. When Use SMB heartbeat fallback is not selected this second attempt will not be made.
