Configuring the Omnissa Dynamic Environment Manager Management Console

After you install and configure Dynamic Environment Manager, you can start the Dynamic Environment Manager (DEM) Management Console. The DEM Management Console requires initial configuration and you can also configure which features you want to manage through the console.

Fresh Installation

If you install Dynamic Environment Manager as a fresh installation, when you open the DEM Management Console the first time, you are prompted to select which mode the DEM Management Console opens in going forward, integration mode or standalone mode.

Whichever mode you select, the DEM Management Console subsequently opens in that mode, unless you change the mode, such as by selecting Configure > Integration in the DEM Management Console.

Initial Standalone-Mode Configuration

When you use the DEM Management Console in standalone mode for the first time, you must specify the location of the configuration share. With the configuration share set, you can start using the DEM Management Console in standalone mode.

DEM Management Console searches for its configuration file at the specified location. If the file exists, this central file is read and used as configuration for the DEM Management Console. Otherwise, a new configuration file, with default values, and a General folder is created.

Note: DEM Management Console configuration is stored in the central configuration share. Any changes that you make to the configuration affect all DEM Management Console installations that are configured to use this share.

Further Configuration

You can control which features you want to manage through the DEM Management Console by configuring the DEM Management Console settings. You can display the settings by clicking Configure in the DEM Management Console. For more information about configuring the settings, see Managing the Dynamic Environment Manager Management Console in the Installing and Configuring Omnissa Dynamic Environment Manager guide.
