4.2 Menus associated with the managing server
You can access the functions of the managing server by selecting them in the JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 program folder in the Start menu. The menu items for these functions are created in the Start menu when you install JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager with the Remote Install Manager component selected.
Of the menu items associated with the managing server, this section describes those used solely in the context of distribution by using Remote Install Manager.
-
This menu item starts Remote Install Manager, a component that implements the main functions of the managing server such as software distribution and file collection.
For details about how to use Remote Install Manager, see 4.3 Starting and stopping Remote Install Manager and 4.4 Window structure and basic operations.
-
This menu item starts the Unarchiver, a tool that restores compressed or archived files to their original form. Because files collected from managed computers by remote collection are archived or compressed, they cannot be read from or written to on the managing server until they are restored to their original form by the Unarchiver.
For details about how to use the Unarchiver, see 8.1.2 Restoring collected files.
