Most SCOadmin managers enable you to manage other SCO systems on your network. The two types of administration supported are: remote and distributed.
Remote administration manages one remote system at a time. For example, you can add a printer to another system. To add that printer to additional systems, you must repeat the procedure, once for each system.
Distributed administration manages multiple systems at one time. For example, you can add a user to multiple systems in one step.
Generally speaking, remote administration entails minimal setup but requires repetitive steps to accomplish a task (such as providing a printer definition to multiple systems). Distributed administration, while requiring additional overhead in configuration, allows you to perform a task (such as distributing a user to multiple networked machines) in one step or procedure.
