Second full comsole for NCM?

jlintner

Now that my Solarwinds system has more people using it, and administering NCM (Finally!), we are contending with admins using the NCM concole via RDP on the server.  As we all know, Windows 2003 only allow three RDP sessions at a time and we have about seven that are trying to use the NCM console at a time.  Changing our main NPM polling and NCM server into a terminal server application mode is not an option.  Is there any way to load another instance of just the console to another server, or even a few desktops so they can perform their their tasks?  I'm thinking like Network Atlas has an installer to allow map editing remotely.  Some are adding/removing/grouping devices and others are creating compliance and policy reports, while a couple others are creating scripts to push configs.  Lots going on, but the web interface limits the abilitiers to actually administer NCM...

Thanks!

I don't know about a second console, have to get with SW on that, but I know you can do some level of policy management through the integration tool or web site.  I'm playing with editing rules via my NPM console now.  check it out, might give the policy crew an avenue other than RDP.
