Remote Management for Windows 2003

[Alex Hose]

I would like to know if there are any remote server administration tools similar to VNC, PC Anywhere, CA Remote Possible etc. to administer the Windows 2003 STD Edition servers(running Domino application).

When I use the Remote Desktop connection, it is same as Terminal Services and I do not see the Domino Console (which is run as a service).

I would like to know the application for server management that is part of the standard 2003 built (no third party additions)

Greetings. You can install and setup the NetMeeting option on the server. Just type CONF.exe at the run line and configure it... It is free and works. This is what our Lotus Notes Admins use in our environment....

How do we set up the security?
Do we make the application accept all the incoming calls?
Launch the service automaticall?

You can use RDP and connect to console
