3 Installing and Configuring Image
Manager Desktop Management Web
Console

Introduction

The Desktop Manager Console provides a simpler way for a user to administer the Image Manager on
a day-to-day basis. It does not provide the more complex settings of the full Image Manager console,
but it allows a non-technical user to perform simple operations, such as changing the image streamed
to Thin Clients, rebooting Thin Clients, and viewing activity information about the Thin Clients (who is
logged in, IP address, computer name). The full Image Manager console is used to configure the system,
add images, computers; then the Desktop Manager Console can be used to provide the functions
required in the most common use-cases of the Image Manager product. The Desktop Manager Console
is implemented as a web service, similar to the web pages that most modern routers and switches
provide for their administration.
During the installation of the Image Manager it is not mandatory that the Desktop Manager Console be
installed, but there are preconditions for using the Desktop Manager Console such that you should read
this section before continuing with the configuration of Image Manager. In that way you could return to
this section at a later time, install Desktop Manager Console and allow a simpler operation of the Image
Manager installation. To do this, you would re-run the Image Manager installer on the Image Manager
Server machine, and select Web Console from the drop-down box on the fifth panel of the installer.
