Remote Workstation Control
Remote Workstation Control can monitor or control the screen display of a remote
system that is running Netfinity Manager (or Client Services for Netfinity
Manager). Once you initiate a Remote Workstation Control session with another
Netfinity Manager system, you can passively monitor events that are occurring on
the display of the remote system or actively control the remote system desktop.
When you initiate an active Remote Workstation Control session, clicks and
keystrokes that are entered on your system are automatically passed to the remote
system. With Remote Workstation Control, you can remotely start programs, open
and close windows, enter commands, and much more.
Screen View
The Screen View service takes a "snapshot" of the system graphic display or any
remote system running Netfinity Manager or Client Services for Netfinity Manager
and displays it on the screen. These snapshots can be saved as bitmaps and viewed
later.
Security Manager
The Security Manager service can prevent unauthorized access to some or all of
the Netfinity Manager services. It uses incoming user ID and password
combinations, and is available for network use only.
Serial Connection Control
The Serial Connection Control service enables remote systems running Netfinity
Manager to access the system through a phone line and modem. With the Serial
Connection Control service, you do not have to be attached to a network to benefit
from the outstanding remote system access, monitoring, and management
capabilities of Netfinity Manager.
Note: The system must have a properly installed and configured modem that
supports at least 9600 baud for the Serial Connection Control service to
function.
Service Configuration Manager
Service Configuration Manager can save the configuration of a Netfinity Manager
service from a selected system to a service configuration file (SCF). Once created,
SCF files can be used by Event Scheduler to restore the configuration to the same
system, or it can be used (in conjunction with Event Scheduler) to duplicate that
configuration on other similar systems you choose.
Software Inventory
Software Inventory enables the user to create and manage software product
dictionaries that can be used to easily maintain an inventory of all application
programs installed on the system.
System Diagnostics Manager
System Diagnostics Manager enables you to initiate a variety of diagnostic tasks on
systems that support ROM-based diagnostics. The results of all previously run
diagnostic sessions are stored and can be examined using System Diagnostics
Manager to help diagnose and resolve system problems.
System Information Tool
The System Information Tool enables quick and convenient access to detailed
information on the hardware and software configurations of the system. System
Information Tool gathers information about almost any computer; however, the
