This system configuration consists of an enterprise manager and several domain managers (domains), where each domain manager can be administered by its own local administrator.
The following illustration shows a sample scenario of an enterprise implementation with local administrators:
In this implementation scenario the enterprise manager attached to several domain managers provides centralized control over a large system of multiple LANs connected by a WAN.
The enterprise administrator distributes software to the domain managers, and each local administrator installs and maintains these items on the computers in their domain. This way, local administrators provide an additional level of software installation and maintenance control over individual domains.
This system configuration has a centralized control, yet also allows domain managers to customize the distribution process to individual computers and thus operate independently of the enterprise manager.
As the local administrator can distribute software without intervention by the enterprise administrator, this structure decreases centralized control. The enterprise administrator does, however, retain all monitoring capability and can send orders to remove unauthorized software.
