For many small businesses, that means they generally don't
know there's a major problem developing until it's too late. That's when
you their IT consultant glance down at your pager and see the code words
"911!!!" next to the client's phone number. Quick. Drop
everything and run over to put out the fire.
Microsoft knows that most tech consultants and computer
resellers deep down inside would rather these issues be prevented with
proactive server management... they know their channel partners would
rather avoid most of this reactive mode fire fighting and concentrate on
building more reliable, innovative solutions for these small business
clients.
These clients would also rather avoid the difficulties and
down time as well. When was the last time when of your clients remarked,
"gee, I'm kind of nostalgic for a server crash"?!?
Small Business Server Answer to Proactive Server Management
To help you stay on top of the client's Small Business
Server well being and proactive server management, Microsoft designed the
Server Status Tool for Small Business Server 4.5. With the Server Status
Tool, you can configure Small Business Server to automatically fax or
e-mail you specific log file reports at prescheduled time internals.
To assist with proactive server management, the available
logs include:
-
Percentage of disk space available on all volumes
-
Status of all server services
-
Winsock proxy logs
-
Proxy Server logs
-
Internet Information Server (IIS) logs
The Server Status Tool can automatically fax or e-mail
selected log files to you at predetermined time internals... to help you
achieve some degree of proactive server management.
