On NetWare® servers, you can monitor the TED agents (Distributor Agent and Subscriber Agent) and the Policy/Package Agent at the server console where they are running. In addition, you can monitor the agents running on any platform (NetWare, Windows, or UNIX) from Internet Explorer using the ZfS Management role in iManager.

The Policy/Package Agent always runs along with the Subscriber Agent. It is responsible for installing the software and enforcing the policies that the Subscriber Agent receives and extracts. The Remote Web Console enables you to manage the Policy/Package Agent, which is not possible using ConsoleOne.
