SUMMARY
The Manage Server Console from Small Business Server (SBS) is meant to be the central point of administration. This tool can be installed on a client workstation and used remotely, even across a dial-up connection, to administer an SBS network.

The client workstation must be running Windows NT Workstation 4.0 with Service Pack 3 (or later) installed, and must have the current version of Internet Explorer that is used on the Small Business Server computer (Internet Explorer 4.01 for SBS 4.0a, or Internet Explorer 3.02 for SBS 4.0). The user logging on to this client workstation must also be a member of the Domain Admins group.

To install the remote console, perform the following steps:


 * 1) Insert the Small Business Server compact disc 1.
 * 2) Click Start, click Run, type  :\remotecsl\samcsl.exe, and then click OK.



MORE INFORMATION
It is also recommended to use the Domain Administrator to attach to the SBS network and create an Outlook profile for Administrator on the client workstation.
