Figure 104 : Communications Console
The Communications Console is an initialization and reset utility. The utility will first be run
when installing the product. It initializes the Distribution Service with files encrypted and signed
by the Management Service. Additionally it allows you to optionally configure a Windows NT or
Windows 2000 Active Directory for authentication. Rerunning the Communications Console
(Start/Programs/Novell/Management Service/ESM Communications Console) will cause you
to lose user and log data, however, Policy data will not be deleted.
