Preemption of a Remote Administrator by a Local User

This occurs when a local user attempts to take control of a server that is being accessed by a remote administrator. In this instance, when the local user tries to connect to the server a message appears asking the local user to wait while the preemption request is answered by the remote administrator. If the remote administrator rejects the preemption request, a message appears informing the local user that they cannot connect to the server. If the request is granted by the remote administrator, the local user can access the server.

Preemption of a Remote User by a Local User

This occurs when a local user attempts to take control of a server that is being accessed by a remote user who is not an administrator. In this instance, the local user is given access to the server after a defined time.

Running System Diagnostics

You can validate the integrity of your system through the Run Diagnostics command. This command checks the main board functional sub-systems (memory, intra-board communications, switch control, and the video channels) for each system controller. When you select the Run Diagnostics command, you will receive a warning indicating that all users (remote and local) will be disconnected. Click OK to confirm and begin the test.
