Management of all Windows-based applications and content (URLs, CDs/DVDs) using a single set of procedures and a uniform interface.

Applications and content are available in the user interfaces through shortcut icons on the desktop and/or as additional entries in the Start menu.

Automatic addition and deletion of desktop shortcuts and Start menu entries based on user rights and availability.

Desktop items and Start menu entries presented in accordance with privileges assigned to the user or station on the basis of NT, NDS, ADS or LDAP rights, station names, station groups, IP addresses or DNS host names.

A graphical scripting language (NetMan "actions") enables fast, easy, point-and-click configuration of the features for serving, integrating and executing applications. In most cases, no additional batch programming or scripts are needed.

Defaults that define what happens when the NetMan Client is started and what happens when it is shut down. These can be made dependent on user name, station ID or group membership.

Direct support for Virtual CD products.

Allocation of drive letters at run time.

Definition and monitoring of software licenses for applications served by NetMan.

When the "concurrent use" licensing scheme is active and all licenses for a particular application are in use, a license queue forms. When a license becomes available, the application is opened automatically for the next user/station in the queue.

Applications are closed automatically after a defined period has elapsed with no user activity.

Applications with competing resource requirements can be specially designated so that only one at a time can run.

Control of Internet access for all applications and browsers based on blacklists and whitelists. Supported protocols: HTTP, HTTPS and FTP. Special editor for intuitive operation when defining application-specific access rules.

Both station activity and the use of software licenses can be monitored.

Analysis of user access (and unsuccessful access attempts) to applications and content served by NetMan. Includes detailed numerical and graphical evaluations, options for saving and loading analysis templates and analysis of parallel license usage.

Practical aid in tracing sources of error; adjustable filter level.

Detailed list of hardware components and software installations on workstations in the network.

Windows 2000 and later: all 32-bit operating systems.

Automatic updating of the NetMan client with no user input required.

Extension of Windows-based rights enabled by settings at the user and user-group levels in NetMan.

Extension of Windows-based rights enabled by settings at the station and station-group levels in NetMan.

Support for ICA, RDP and mixed environments. Access can be controlled based on station, user or application.

Windows 2000 and later: all 32-bit operating systems.

Integration of thin clients using the native Microsoft RDP client.

Enterprise-wide application service based on application name.

Enterprise-wide application service based on application name, limited to specified stations or station groups.

Enterprise-wide service of URLs, applications and CDs/DVDs based on content name; sorted in directories and subdirectories on the desktop or in the Start menu.

Applications published for users who are not explicitly authenticated on the terminal server.

Access control for anonymous users based on white-listed IP addresses and address ranges.

Automatic load-balancing between terminal servers in a server farm.

Local login data passed automatically to the terminal server with the application call.

Intuitive integration of applications in terminal server sessions into local windows.

Several applications share a session in seamless mode. This saves time when the application is launched and conserves resources.

Double-clicking on a file stored on the local hard drive opens that file in the associated application.

Settings for sound, color depth and window options can be defined automatically when a session is opened.

Time limits on the validity of RDP/ICA files improves security by preventing unauthorized use of the terminal server.

Session-specific defaults for 'read' and 'write' rights in directories on local drives.

Improved protection from unauthorized use provided by access controls based on IP address, IP address range or DNS host name.

Print jobs converted to PDF format, sent to the requesting client, and printed on the local printer. Print preview optional.

User-based and application-based bandwidth management for print jobs and control of access to the universal printers.

Applications and content served in HTML pages within the intranet or over the Internet.

Windows 98 and later.

With the new Java RDP client, Windows applications can be accessed in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) by non-Windows operating systems, including Mac OS X and a number of Linux distributions (NetMan HTML View required).

Presentation of applications and content based on user rights and availability.

Page elements managed by NetMan are presented based on NT, NDS, ADS or LDAP rights; or station name, station group, IP address or DNS host name, depending on user or station rights.

As an alternative to a simple list of applications, the browser window can depict a Windows Explorer interface, with folders and programs displayed in a tree diagram or with icons.

The user interface for starting applications can be presented over a secure, SSL-encrypted connection.

SSL-encryption secures the RDP data stream from sessions over the SSL gateway. This ensures trouble-free session calls even over proxies and through firewalls.

Automatically create an alphabetical list of applications and content.

The layout of HTML pages can be customized; for example, to meet CI guidelines.

Authentication and authorization can be based on user databases in local library systems, such as OCLC PICA LBS and CBS, SISIS Elektra, Aleph, and more.

Script-based software distribution on workstations in the network; installation in the background using the system account.

Comprehensive monitoring to detect deleted, modified and new files, directories and registry keys during installation on a reference PC.

Changes detected in files include version number, file attributes, file size and content (for example, of INI files and text files).

Monitoring can be limited to specified subtrees in the registry and subpaths in directories.

Script-based software distribution on workstations in the network; installation in the background using the system account.

You can store data concerning your applications, such as application names and descriptions, in multiple languages.

The Language Module lets you assign particular languages to specified users or groups.

You can switch from one language to another without shutting down or restarting the program.
