Windows Domain Controller
The domain controller typically acts as the Domain Name System (DNS), Windows
Internet Name Service (WINS), and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server.
Note: DNS and WINS servers must be made secure in accordance with local security
policy guidelines. Microsoft recommends that production applications such as Server
Management software not be installed on domain controllers. For more information
about domain controllers, see the appropriate Microsoft documentation.
Management Server
A management server that has Server Management software installed enables you to
manage new Express5800 systems and monitor older Express5800 systems in your
environment. A management server is necessary in order for your system to report
problems to the NEC client support center using remote maintenance service requests.
The ESMPRO Manager is installed on the management server. It is designed to help
you manage your enterprise at a glance.
Client Workstation
A client workstation enables you to remotely access management server functionality.
From a Web browser on the client workstation, you can also access the Remote
Console interface residing on the partition Service Processor. In addition, a client
workstation can serve as a remote system console by accessing the KVMS Redirection
page of the Partition Remote Console interface, which launches the Console Manager
Partition Desktop or JViewer interface.
Console Manager Client Software
Console Manager Partition Desktop and JViewer user interfaces enable you to manage
partitions remotely, without the need for directly attached peripherals. Instead, you can
use one or more network-connected workstations to view and control partitions. (These
workstations can be the same as client workstations that have Server Management
software installed or can be other workstations that meet the Console Manager
requirements.) You can control the partition keyboard and mouse, view the partition
operations, and share storage drives or storage images with the partition.
To control a partition remotely, you access the Partition Desktop or JViewer interface
from the KVMS Redirection page of the remote console interface. (If your workstation is
running a Windows operating system and Internet Explorer, you can use the Partition
Desktop. If your workstation is running either a Linux operating system or a Windows
operating system with the required Java software, you can use JViewer.) The
appropriate client software is downloaded to your workstation, and you can view or
