Gateway Server Manager

Gateway Server Manager lets you manage multiple computers on a Windows network from a single window, then implement commands and policies across the network with a single action. With Gateway Server Manager, you can run system management tasks which are triggered by certain events or conditions.

Printed documentation comes with the Gateway Server Manager CD. You can find additional documentation in the program’s online help.

Server security

To prevent unauthorized use of the server, you can set BIOS startup passwords.

■Enter either password to finish starting the server.

■Enter the supervisor password to access the BIOS Setup utility.
