Managing the Server          

The server has two server-management tools that you can use to administer 
and control the server. These tools are ManageX Event Manager and the 
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent.

ManageX lets the system administrator manage multiple systems on a 
Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Novell Netware network from a single 
window, and implement commands and policies across the network with a 
single action. With this tool, you can automate system management tasks, 
which can be triggered by specific events or at specified thresholds.

You can find additional information about the ManageX Event Manager 
under 

 on the Server Companion CD which came with the 

server.

The SNMP agent is software that links the hardware to ManageX Event 
Manager. Each significant hardware event generates an interrupt that is 
detected by the SNMP agent and then routed to ManageX. The SNMP agent 
is provided on the Server Companion CD (SCCD) and must be installed on 
the server before system administration and control will function properly.

The server must be prepared for the server management software.

■

You must download and install WMICORE.EXE first to provide a WMI 
environment in Windows NT. Download WMICORE.EXE from 
msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/sdks/wmi/download.asp. When you 
install WMICORE.EXE, check the 

 checkbox in 

the Components dialog box.

■

SNMP service must be installed. If not, install SNMP service through 
Windows NT before you install the SNMP agent.
