            <p>To help you understand the benefits of using the AppManager WBEM 
              Agent, here's a simplified overview of AppManager itself. We use 
              Windows 2000 as an example because this WBEM version of AppManager 
              provides only Windows 2000 monitoring features. However,
			  keep in mind that 
              the AppManager Suite can also monitor Microsoft BackOffice applications 
              such as Exchange and other servers such as Lotus Domino. We also 
              point out differences between the AppManager WBEM Agent and the full AppManager 
              product.</p>
            <p>To monitor the health and performance of a Windows 2000 server or 
              workstation, you install the AppManager management client on that 
              computer. The management client runs as an extremely light-footprint 
              service on the server computer. From the AppManager Operator Console, 
              you can schedule jobs, called Knowledge Scripts, to run on the managed 
              computer. In the full AppManager product, these Knowledge Script 
              jobs can run once, or you can schedule them to run on a regular 
              basis (for example &quot;once every five minutes&quot; or &quot;every 
              second and fourth Thursday&quot; of a month). In the WBEM version, 
              we have created default schedules for you.</p>
            <p>The Knowledge Script jobs you run on a managed computer can monitor 
              a wide variety of performance information. For example, you can 
              monitor memory usage or the overall CPU load on the computer. In 
              the full AppManager product, you can set up the job to generate 
              an event when a threshold that you specify is exceeded, and these 
              events can trigger an array of actions, such as restarting a service, 
              sending an email, or issuing a pager message. In the WBEM version, 
              we have preconfigured the Knowledge Scripts with common default 
              thresholds.</p>
            <p>The Knowledge Script jobs can, optionally, collect data as well. 
              The full AppManager product comes with a wide variety of prepackaged 
              reports that you can run immediately from this data.</p>
            <p>One of the key benefits of the full AppManager product is flexibility. 
              AppManager is built with open, industry-standard technologies such 
              as VBA scripting. You can easily tailor Knowledge Script jobs to 
              your needs, or write your own. The performance data you collect 
              is stored in a SQL Server database, making it available for analysis 
              and reporting through SQL or through third-party tools such as Crystal 
              Reports.</p>
