3.4.2Remote Security Management
Remote Security Management allows the system administrator to safely set or modify security features on remote Compaq desktops, directly from the centralized network management console. Enabling the system administrator to perform these tasks remotely, on multiple computers, results in consistent deployment of and greater control over desktop security parameters over the network. It also results in greater productivity and lower total cost of ownership.
✎Your computer must be powered on, or turned on through Remote Wakeup, to take advantage of Remote Security Management. Use of Remote Security Management also requires an established setup password.
For more information about the Remote Management Setup software and enabling Remote Security Management, refer to the online Remote Management Administrators Guide. The Remote Management Administrators Guide is included with the Remote Management Administration Tools, and is available on the Support Software CD or at the Compaq Web site at www.compaq.com.
3.4.3Remote Wakeup and Remote Shutdown
If the computer has an optional network card installed, it may support the Compaq Remote Wakeup and Remote Shutdown functions. These functions allow a system administrator to power on and power off a client computer from a remote location, supported by PC LAN management tools.
