About the Symantec Management Console
The Symantec Management Console is the Web browser based administration
console for working with Symantec Management Platform and solutions, including
Out of Band Management Component. The console lets you perform tasks, schedule
events, run reports, perform configuration, configure security, and more. You can
run the console from the Notification Server computer (locally) or from a remote
computer with a network connection to Notification Server. This means that you
can perform administration tasks from wherever you are.
The console lets you set security that is specific to each console user. You specify
which areas of the console a user has access to and the rights that a user has to
perform specific actions. For example, one user can run reports while another
user can only view reports that have already been run.
You can start the console remotely by typing the following URL into the Internet
Explorer's address bar:
http://<Notification_Server_name>/altiris/console
For more information on the console, see the Symantec Management Platform
Help, which can be accessed through the console's Help menu.
