Configuring Your Infrastructure for Remote Management

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

Remote administration, whether in-band or out-of-band, might require changes to your environment in areas such as network connectivity, memory and processor resources, and security. After you select the tools you plan to use for remote management, assess the impact they have on your environment, and decide how to configure hardware components, the next step is to determine the changes you need to make to your infrastructure to mitigate any potential negative impacts. The place of this step in the process is illustrated in Figure 5.10.
