What's New in Remote Management

ZfD 4 introduces the following new features for Remote Management:

• Remote Management no longer has a dependency on the Novell Client.

  You can initiate a Remote Management operation with workstations where Novell Client is not installed.

• Enhanced performance of remote control.
• You can start Remote Management operations through Password-Based Remote Management.

  For ZfD 4 Remote Management, you do not need to register the workstation in eDirectory and import it as an eDirectory Workstation object. You can imitate a Remote Management operation using Password-Based Remote Management.

• You can start Remote Management operations from the User object as well as from the Workstation object.
• You can configure the Wake-on-LAN policy to perform a scheduled wake-up of a group of managed workstations
• Remote Management operations work across the firewall.

  You can perform Remote Management operations on the workstations that are outside the firewall if port 1761 is open for the Remote Management operations.

• ZfD 4 has centralized audit information through the audit log

  All the Remote Management audit information is stored in a centralized Inventory database. You can view the audit record of all workstations from ConsoleOne^®.

• ZfD 4 has audit reports for Remote Management sessions

  You can generate a predefined report to filter the Remote Management audit information from the Inventory database through Crystal Reports.
