User Console - A simplified console designed for the more technical user on the network to help monitor the status of the server, manage basic user permissions, add users, and manage printer and fax queues. Because the new consoles are based entirely on the Microsoft Management Console shipped in Windows 2000, technology consultants will have the ability to easily customize existing consoles or add new consoles based on customer need. You can use either an Internet connection via a Web client such as Internet Explorer 5.0, or through dedicated client software to manage remote sites with the Small Business Server Management Consoles and with the same software functionality as if you were on the LAN or sitting in front of the server console. Adding users is even easier with the updated three-screen wizard that creates a user account, an email mailbox, a home directory, and sets security permissions based on customizable template user accounts. This user enters the user information, password information, and selects a user template to model user permissions.
Administrators can easily add user templates based on the needs of the business.
