Argon Client Management Services (TM)
=====================================
Client Management Services (CMS) includes all the server-based services and admi
nistration tools needed to setup an open network boot environment. You can deplo
y your favorite third party client management tools in a pre-OS booting phase. F
or example, you can check, backup, and restore critical files, perform virus sca
ns, flash update a system BIOS, and more before the client PC boots from its loc
al hard drive. CMS gives network administrators centralized control over whether
client PCs devices receive any or all of their boot-up instructions from the ne
twork.
System administrators also gain significant advantage from the OS deployment cap
abilities of CMS. Now they can rollout a new OS without having to visit client P
Cs with an installation CD or boot disk, and then wait for the new OS to install
. Instead, they can deploy Microsoft operating systems like Windows Me, 95, 98,
NT 4.0, 2000, and XP from a central location.
Highlights:
Contains a Client Boot Disk creator to use with client PCs/laptops that are not
PXE compliant. The Client Boot Disk executes the PXE startup process via a flop
py diskette.
Automated and unattended deployment of Windows XP, 2000, NT 4.0, 98, 95 and Me.
Creates pre-OS network boot images to perform maintenance tasks on client PCs
Compatible with the Wired for Management (WfM), Preboot Execution Environment (P
XE) 2.1 network booting specification

PXE Server services can run as native Windows NT 4.0, 2000, and XP system servic
es
Server applications can run as executables on Windows 98, NT 4.0, 2000 and XP
Allows creation of "menu boot files" that allow client PC users to select from a
menu of boot options (e.g. different operating system deployments or client man
agement tasks) at boot time. Menu boot files support Linux netboot images
Simple, user-friendly application interface includes wizards that guide you thro
ugh creating boot image files for OS deployment, pre-OS, and remote booting
