Gateway Server Manager
Gateway Server Manager lets you manage multiple computers on a Windows
network from a single window, then implement commands and policies across
the network with a single action. With Gateway Server Manager, you can run
system management tasks which are triggered by certain events or conditions.
Printed documentation comes with the Gateway Server Manager CD. You can
find additional documentation in the program’s online help.
Server security
To prevent unauthorized use of the server, you can set BIOS startup passwords.
Using BIOS security passwords
Set up a supervisor password to prevent unauthorized access to the BIOS Setup
utility. After you create a supervisor password, you can set up a user password
to prevent unauthorized access to the server. You can:
Enter either password to finish starting the server.
Enter the supervisor password to access the BIOS Setup utility.
For information about resetting BIOS passwords, see “Resetting BIOS
passwords” on page 79.
To set the BIOS security passwords:
1 Restart your server, then press F2 when the Gateway logo screen appears
during startup. The BIOS Setup utility opens.
2 Select the Security menu.
