Computing Edge – Web Administrator

Computing Edge’s Web Administrator provides a Webbased interface tenable clients to access Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) administration functions from any Web browser.
Web Administrator is integrated with Systems Management Server through the use of SMS data made available through the SMS Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) provider, the same mechanism that the SMS Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snapins use.
A Webbased console to access SMS functions allows SMS administrators to sit at any system with a browser and manage SMS operations. In particular, many help desk stations are based upon the Microsoft Windows 9x operating system platform and this addresses a business need of accessing SMS operations from the same platform that help desk professionals are running.
