 LANDesk Server Control.

Both applications require loading on your system's hard disk, and can only be used 
with Novell NetWare 3.1x or 4.x. See the application's documentation for complete 
installation and operation procedures.

Each application is briefly described in the following paragraphs.

LANDesk Management Suite

All server configurations come with the Intel LANDesk Management Suite. The 
LANDesk Management Suite consists of four categories of network tools:

workstation management tools – enables you to easily manage the 
workstations on your network

server management tools – enables you to manage the file servers on 
your network

wire management tools – enables you to monitor the traffic on your 
network

network services tools – provides services on your network or enables 
you to manage the services available on your network.

The Workstation Management tools include Software Metering, Software Distribution, 
Desktop Manager, and Desktop Remote modules. The Software Metering module 
allows you to monitor and control license limits for network applications. The 
Software Distribution module allows you to easily distribute software to workstations 
on your local area network from a central location. The Desktop Manager module 
allows you to remotely access and obtain diagnostic information about the 
workstations on your network. The Desktop Remote module gives you complete 
control of a Windows workstation from a remote location through a modem and 
phone line.

The Server Management tools include Server Monitor and Server Status modules. 
The Server Monitor module tracks and graphs server parameters. The Server Status 
module monitors the binderies of up to eight types of servers, either individually or all 
eight at once.

The Wire Management tools includes a Traffic Monitor, Performance Monitor, and 
Software Probe. The Traffic Monitor tracks and displays network traffic information. 
The Performance Monitor tracks network traffic to provide statistical information about 
what applications are running on the network. The Software Probe gathers data for 
the traffic monitor and performance monitor.

The Network Services tools includes a Virus Scan tool, Network Printer Manager, 
and Queue Monitor. The Virus Scan tool allows automatic scanning of all workstation 
hard disks and server volumes. The Network Printer Manager provides access and 
management of all network printers run under Windows. The Queue Monitor manages 
network print queues.

For installation and operating details, refer to the included LANDesk Management
