# Bulk retrieve config
1. Create a script in **FortiManager -> Device Manager -> Scripts -> Create New**.
- **Type**: CLI Script.
- **Run script on**: Remote ForitGate Directly (via CLI):
diagnose fdsm cfg-upload 'comment*' <-----* Any comment can be set, it will be used to identify the retrieve in the revision history.
- Select **OK** to save.
**Note:**
For FortiGates with VDOMs enabled, the script should be modified to this:
**config global**
**diagnose fdsm cfg-upload 'comment'**
2. Running the script on all FortiGates:
- Select the FortiGates and select the right arrow:
- Select Run:
- Select OK:
- The script will start running:
3. Go to Device Manager and the configuration status of FortiGates should show synchronized. If any FortiGate is not showing synchronized, 'right-click' on the device and select 'Refresh Device'.
4. In the Total Revisions for each FortiGate, there will be a 'Retrieve' entry with the 'comment' in the comments section.
**Note 1:**
Script Status/logs can also be checked from: **System Settings -> Task Monitor**:
**Note 2:**
Bulk retrieval can also be done by selecting the notification icon on the top, **but it only works if the devices are either in a 'conflict' or 'out-of-sync' state**.
