The management server diagnoses the security status of the computers according to the specified security policy. Use the operation window to set the security policy and check the security diagnostic results. Use the Web browser to display and use the operation window. In an environment that allows access to the management server from the Web browser, you can log in and use the operation window.
The following describes the prerequisites for the basic configuration.
-
The computers to be managed must be connected to one management server.
-
In an environment that allows TCP/IP communication, a computer can be added as a management target irrespective of whether a LAN or WAN is used.
-
Because the operation window is used in a Web browser, you can use the operation window on any computer that is available for HTTP communication with the management server.
