Some time ago I viewed a coworker open a webpage from numerous win9x PC’s and view the status of and administer a SMS 1.2 server. He explained that it was part of SMS and was not a third party product. Today, 2 years later, I find mself in a situatuaion where such a tool would be quite advantageous. I have SMS 2.0 fully loaded on a new server with SP 2 (soon to have 3). I have looked into the WBEM & WMI and read the MS SMS 2.0 Administrators Companion and scoured the Microsoft Knowledge base for an answer. Each of there sources mention the feature I witnessed but none of these sources tell me how to setup this tool. I need answers to: Where to find the tool? How do I setup the tool? How I can trick the tool to use it to its fullest?
I am redesigning a multi-state WAN which will include a Primary and two secondary sites. I want the ability to sit anywhere int he world and adminster this WAN via web browser. Useful links and or preferrably real world experience would be greatly appreciated.
I’m not really interested in third party options.
