Remote Security Management
Remote Security Management allows the system administrator to safely set or modify security
features on remote Compaq Deskpros, directly from the centralized network management console.
Enabling the system administrator to perform these tasks remotely, on multiple computers, results in
consistent deployment of and greater control over Deskpro security parameters over the network. It
also results in greater productivity and lower total cost of ownership.
✎
Use of Remote Security Management requires an established Setup Password.
Remote Security Management is performed in two stages:
1. System administrator uses the Remote Management Setup software on a centralized
management console to define the security parameters.
2. System administrator uses a PC LAN management product to distribute the settings over the
network to remote Compaq Deskpro personal computers.
For more information on enabling Remote Security Management, refer to the online Remote
Management Administrator’s Guide.
Replicated Setup
The Replicated Setup feature gives an administrator the ability to easily copy one Deskpro Setup
configuration to other Deskpro computers of the same model. This allows for faster, more consistent
configuration of multiple Deskpro computers.
