ABSTRACT
In a heterogeneous network that includes Windows NT and UNIX, there are products available that let you perform systems administration functions for the complete heterogeneous network from either a Windows NT workstation or a UNIX workstation. Full coverage of these topics is beyond the scope of this book. The book will focus on just the migration and coexistence aspects. The systems administration functions in a heterogeneous environment include:
• Enterprise systems management • Disk and file backup and restore • System performance management • Security management • Helpdesk software • Background job scheduling • Software distribution and asset management • Output management • Network management • Application management
Enterprise systems management
provides cohesive, integrated administration of the entire IT infrastructure of an organization, which could include systems, networks, applications, and databases, Internet access, desktops, processors, and PDAs.
