Computers

The Computer property sheet lets you add and delete computers. A list of associated printers is also displayed. For creation, you can only enter the computer name and pre-Windows 2000 computer name.

A button to launch the Windows MMC Computer Management tool is also available. Since this tool supports numerous functions, the ability to perform any given function depends on the credentials of the user making the request. Clicking this button launches an additional dialog giving you three different options for selecting credential. They are as follows:

  1. Use the Global-User Administrator's credentials
  2. Use the Window's credentials of the logged in user
  3. Use an alternate set of credentials that the user must manually enter

Note: Options 1 and 3 are only supported on Windows 2000 (or Windows XP) platforms. When running on an NT platform, these options are disabled.
