Enterprise without Local Administrators Implementation

This system configuration consists of an enterprise manager and several domain managers (domains), where the domain managers are administered solely by the enterprise administrator from the enterprise manager.

The following illustration shows a sample scenario of an enterprise implementation without 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, manages the software in the domain libraries, and is able to install and maintain software on the target computers. This way, the implementation of an enterprise manager with several domains and no local administrators provides completely centralized control over the software installed on computers at the domains.

Advantages of an enterprise without local administrators

This system configuration provides for centralized control over all domain managers and target computers from a single location and eliminates the need for intervention by local administrators at each domain manager.

Disadvantages of an enterprise without local administrators

This system configuration makes no provision for customization and variation at the domain managers.
