Perform Advanced MultiPoint Server Tasks
MultiPoint Server is designed so that non-IT professionals can perform basic management tasks from the MultiPoint Manager user interface (UI). However, sometimes advanced management tasks should performed by an IT professional. The Server Manager console includes snap-ins for the most common advanced tasks that an administrator might have to perform, such as:
Scheduling backups
Managing devices and their associated drivers
Using Windows System Resource Manager (WSRM) to balance resource usage
Adding and managing roles, role services, and features
Managing physical and logical disks
Viewing event logs
Performing performance analysis
Managing scheduled tasks
Managing the Windows firewall
Starting and stopping services
Performing advanced user and security group management
Users should have the appropriate knowledge and experience before they try to use these tools. This section does not include details on how to manage these components. However, detailed information is available for each of these components in Windows Server Help.
This section briefly describes some optional role services and features that might be of special significance to administrators for MultiPoint Server, such as:
Windows Server Backup, as described in Configure MultiPoint Server Backups.
Windows System Resource Manager (WSRM), as described in Manage System Resources.
