to Thin Clients, rebooting Thin Clients, and viewing activity information about the Thin Clients (who is
logged in, IP address, computer name). The full Image Manager console is used to configure the system,
add images, computers; then the Desktop Manager Console can be used to provide the functions
required in the most common use-cases of the Image Manager product. The Desktop Manager Console
