| Review: Xandros Desktop Management Server |
Nov. 30, 2004
The Xandros Desktop Management Server, xDMS is an attempt to fill the void between the roll-your-own Linux shops and the prohibitively expensive Enterprise offerings from the likes of IBM et al, according to an article at Linuxtimes.net. Xandros has tied together its Xandros Desktop OS with a server based management system, that promises the following: 100 percent graphical interface -- goodbye command-line!
The point-and-click graphical tools in xDMS enable departmental desktop administrators to perform sophisticated tasks with minimal training and technical expertise, including: - Set up software repositories from multiple sources
- Manage software inventories from the xDMS console
- Establish managed groups of networked PCs
- Create custom configurations according to departmental needs
- Take snapshots of "golden PC" configurations
- Perform remote, unattended OS installs and updates
- Schedule remote program execution
- View task schedules and the progress of running tasks
- Manage and change system configurations from a central location
