Using the Computer Management Snap-in Extension

Topic Last Modified: 2009-03-01

You can use the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 snap-in extension for the Computer Management snap-in to manage server settings for servers in your deployment. This includes the following:

  • Managing edge servers, Proxy Servers, and any Office Communications Server 2007 R2 server that is not joined to an Active Directory domain.
  • Managing individual server-level settings to configure settings that are specific to the physical server on which the snap-in is running.
  • Managing server-level settings remotely. From any server on which the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 administrative tools are installed, you can use Computer Management to connect to an Office Communications Server 2007 R2 server and manage server-level settings for that computer.

Note

When you are using Computer Management to connect to and remotely manage an Office Communications Server 2007 R2 server, the Office Communications Server 2007 R2 snap-in extension is not available in Computer Management (in Services and Applications) until you use the Connect to another computer option in Connection Management to connect to that server.
The Computer Management-based procedures in this document describe only local management steps. If you use Computer Management to remotely manage a server, adjust the procedures as appropriate.
