Asset Manager Saving and automatically retrieving asset lists Tip Save asset lists when you exit ezRemote Manager to avoid having to rediscover and group your appliances again. The asset listing displayed in ezRemote Manager can be saved to a database file (by default named with the extension .rms) when you exit the program, or at any time when using ezRemote Manager by using the menu File | Save selection. The data that are saved to the database file include: groupings (group names and grouped appliances), IP addresses, station names, appliance access passwords, and operating system version information. By default, ezRemote Manager prompts you to save the asset database when you exit the program. By default, the last-saved file is automatically opened the next time you start ezRemote Manager. (This behavior can be changed by unchecking Autoload Database in the Settings menu.) You can save multiple versions of your asset database. By grouping your asset list in different ways, or even maintaining separate databases for different large groups of appliances, can make the task of managing the appliances much easier. Apply Database Access password Tip Always use database access passwords when creating and saving asset lists to prevent unauthorized changes to thin client configurations. Because thin client appliance access passwords are saved as part of the asset list database file, an Administrator Password should always be applied when saving the database file. The next chapter discusses in detail saving and retrieving ezRemote Manager databases. Once an ezRemote Manager asset database has been saved with one or more database access passwords, it cannot be opened without one 24 Saving and automatically retrieving asset lists

Saving and automatically retrieving asset lists
The asset listing displayed in ezRemote Manager can be saved to a
database file (by default named with the extension
.rms
) when you
exit the program, or at any time when using ezRemote Manager by
using the menu
File | Save
selection. The data that are saved to the
database file include: groupings (group names and grouped appli-
ances), IP addresses, station names, appliance access passwords, and
operating system version information.
By default, ezRemote Manager prompts you to save the asset data-
base when you exit the program. By default, the last-saved file is
automatically opened the next time you start ezRemote Manager.
(This behavior can be changed by unchecking
Autoload Database
in
the
Settings
menu.)
You can save multiple versions of your asset database. By grouping
your asset list in different ways, or even maintaining separate data-
bases for different large groups of appliances, can make the task of
managing the appliances much easier.

Tip
Save asset lists when you
exit ezRemote Manager
to avoid having to redis-
cover and group your

Tip
Always use database
access passwords when
creating and saving asset
lists to prevent unautho-

ent configurations.
