SNA Server Manager integrates the administration of all services that are provided by SNA Server, including TN3270 Service, TN5250 Service, Host Print Service, Shared Folders Gateway Service, and Host Security Integration.With SNA Server Manager, you can view all computers that are running SNA Server in an SNA Server subdomain and also manage multiple subdomains at the same time. This allows for central configuration and administration of all SNA Server resources throughout an enterprise network.SNA Server Manager can run on any computer that is running Windows 2000 Professional and that is configured with SNA Server Client.

SNA Server also provides a command-line management interface that allows you to store and use configuration commands in command files. For more information about command-line management functions, see SNA Server version 4.0 Help and the Microsoft® BackOffice® Resource Kit.

SNA Server includes SNA Server Manager, which is tightly integrated with the Windows 2000 Professional MMC snap-ins that include the following:
Local Users and GroupsSystem MonitorEvent Viewer
Integration with Local Users and Groups provides a common user account database and security system for Windows 2000 users, SNA Server Client-based computers, and users of other BackOffice applications. Integration with System Monitor allows you to configure performance counters that monitor the SNA traffic volumes of their SNA Server-based computers. With Event Viewer, you can quickly identify the type and sequence of the events leading up to problems on any SNA Server subdomain.For more information about managing SNA Server resources and services from the Windows 2000 Professional MMC, see the SNA Server version 4.0 documentation and the Microsoft® BackOffice® Resource Kit.
