Locations: overview
Locations enables you to group
in a way that reflects the actual physical locations of the computers
within your establishment. This enables you to easily locate computers
within the RM Management Console, and also allows you to set up and manage
computers in the same location collectively.
The RM Management Console includes these location types:
Site for the overall site location, for example Main
Campus. Sites cannot be moved, renamed or deleted within the RM Management
Console.
Building for the building where the computers are
located, for example Science Building.
Room for the room where the computers are located,
for example Room 23.
Cluster for dedicated computer clusters in your establishment,
for example in a library or common room.
Staff Room for computers located within a secure staff
area in your establishment.
Mobile for computers with no fixed location, for example
a laptop.
These locations are displayed in the form of a
which represents the organisation of your establishment. Typically, each
physical room of computers will be represented by a location.
Locations can be used to install software ,
allocate printers, and manage
on the computers within them. All of these properties can be set up on
a per computer basis, however it is often desirable for computers within
a location to have these properties in common.
Expand Locations to see the tree view for
your establishment. You can identify
the location type by the icon used for each location.
