Many utilities provide a method for
creating a remote server connection and performing a task on that connection, rather than using the
local machine. The second technique of working with a Remote Desktop is very much like working
at the machine directly. The ???Working with the Remote Desktop Connection Application??? section
of Chapter 2 discusses using Remote Desktop in detail. The third technique won??™t receive a lot of
attention in this book, but you use the consoles as you would with the local machine. Here are the
steps for setting up a remote connection with a console.
1.
Open the console you want to use in the Administrative Tools folder of the Control Panel or
by using the Run dialog box accessed using the Start
Run command. (The Group Policy
Editor,
GPEdit.MSC
, requires the Run dialog box since it doesn??™t appear in the Administrative
Tools folder.)
2.
Right-click the root node of the console tree. For example, when working with Computer
Management, you would right-click the Computer Management (Local) node. When the
console supports a remote connection, you??™ll see a Connect to Another Computer entry on
the context menu.
