managed computer
A Web services-based management technology that lets IT professionals remotely
manage desktop and mobile computers. Administrators can securely turn on or
off the power, query system inventory, and push firmware updates regardless of
the state of the remote computer.
The process of searching for computers or other resources on your network that
meet specific requirements.
A system that converts host names and domain names into IP addresses on the
Internet or on the local networks that use the TCP/IP protocol. For example, when
a Web site address is given to DNS, DNS servers return the IP address of the server
that is associated with that name.
Any action that Notification Server can monitor.
A query that identifies a dynamic group of resources that share common criteria.
The complete domain name for a specific computer, or host, on the Internet. The
FQDN consists of two parts: the host name and the domain name. An example is
mycomputer.mydomain.com.
An Intel AMT built-in hardware capability. It lets IT administrators start a
computer from an image that is stored on the network or on the remotely mounted
CD-ROM or hard drive.
A type of remote computer management. It requires the target computer's
operating system to be initialized and to function properly.
A solution that is based in hardware and firmware and is connected to the system's
auxiliary power plane. Despite the power state or the operating system state of
the client computer, Intel AMT provides IT administrators with access to alerts,
hardware inventory, power management, circuit breaker, and agent presence
functionality. Intel AMT functionality requires the computer to be plugged into
the power source and connected to the network. Intel AMT functionality does not
require a software agent to be installed on the client computer.
A software that provides the tools to set up and configure Intel AMT-capable
computers for out-of-band management. Out of Band Management Component
integrates Intel SCS into the Notification Server infrastructure and provides the
interface for Intel SCS in the Symantec Management Console.
A system that provides authenticated access for users and services on a network.
A piece of information that controls the operation of a cryptography algorithm.
In encryption, a key specifies the particular transformation of plain text into
ciphertext or vice versa during decryption. Keys are also used in other
cryptographic algorithms, such as digital signature schemes and keyed-hash
functions (also known as MACs), often used for authentication.
A computer on which the Altiris Agent is installed.
