NetWare 6 includes many new utilities to help you easily and effectively manage your network. As a network administrator, you will find that these utilities provide you with a host of solutions to simplify, secure, and manage your network.
NetWare Remote Manager lets you use a Web browser to securely access NetWare servers from any workstation and perform specific server management tasks. From Remote Manager, you can monitor the health of your servers, their processes, and CPU usage.
You can also perform common server management tasks more quickly such as mounting and dismounting volumes, managing server connections, configuring SET parameters, viewing the configuration of the server, accessing files on volumes and DOS partitions, and even shutting down, restarting, and resetting your server. Through the Console Screens applet, you can view and run all the console screens just as though you were using the keyboard at the server console.
For more information about NetWare Remote Manager, see the NetWare Remote Manager Administration Guide.
Novell iManager runs in an Internet browser and is used for administering, managing, and configuring Novell eDirectory objects. Novell iManager lets you assign specific tasks or responsibilities to users and presents users with only the tools (and accompanying rights) necessary to perform those tasks. In NetWare 6, you can use Novell iManager to administer iPrint, DNS/DHCP, and Novell Licensing Services.
For more information, see the Novell iManager Administration Guide.
ConsoleOneTM is a Java-based administration tool that you can use to flexibly manage Novell and third-party products on a variety of platforms. Running on either a NetWare server or a Windows workstation, ConsoleOne provides a single point of administration for your network resources, including eDirectory objects, schema, partitions, replicas, and NetWare servers.
With ConsoleOne, you can modify properties of multiple files, folders, objects, and volumes simultaneously. You can also use ConsoleOne to quickly browse large eDirectory trees, manage user accounts, administer rights, and extend eDirectory schema.
