KACE Desktop Authority 11.3 - Installation and Upgrade Guide

Server Manager

The Server Manager object is where the service, plugin and database configurations are configured. Only a Super User/Group will have access to Server Manager and its components.

Service Management

Service Management is a multi-threaded component that provides an interface to manage the DA Administrative Service, the Update Service and the replication process.

Plugins

The Plugins object is used to manage and configure plugins. Plugins are Desktop Authority provided objects that the Manager uses to perform specific operations. There are two default plugins that are necessary for Desktop Authority to collect data and report on it.

Replication options

Select the Replication Options tab to configure replication options and preferences.

Configure Site Map

Desktop Authority will attempt to connect to either the DA Administrative Service on the DA logon server (the server where slogic.bat is executed from, upon logon) or the Update service. If the requested service does not respond, or is not installed on that server, Desktop Authority will use a default site map to locate a server that has an active and responsive service. The default site map is created based on the information in the Server Manager list, and groups all servers to their respective site. The default site map will instruct Desktop Authority to attempt to connect with the service on one of the other server(s) that are listed in the same site as the workstation's site. Click on the Configure Site Map tab to configure a site map options or create a custom site map.
