Managing NetWare 6 Remotely

Test Objective Covered:

1. Use NetWare 6 remote management utilities.

NetWare 6 has broken down the walls of the IT server room. As a result, you are no longer trapped in the dungeon of server console administration. In fact, NetWare 6 includes three very powerful management utilities that enable you to securely administer your network anytime, anywhere:

• Remote Manager Provides all the functionality available at the server console from a web browser.

• iMonitor Provides monitoring and diagnostic capability to all servers in your eDirectory tree from a web browser. Furthermore, iMonitor enables you to manage your eDirectory tree from almost any platform, including NetWare, Windows NT/2000, Solaris, Linux, and Tru64 UNIX.

• iManager Is a web-based browser tool that will eventually provide the same management capabilities as NetWare Administrator and ConsoleOne. (NetWare 6 includes a prerelease version of iManager.)

In this lesson, we will learn how to use these three anytime, anywhere administration tools to break the shackles of server-based management. Now let's start with the most robust of the three: Remote Manager.
