Custom tools

Each tool in the list will be associated with a separate menu command, which Administration Console uses to start the application corresponding to that tool.
The applications starts on the administrator's workstation. The application can accept the attributes of a remote client device as command-line arguments (NetBIOS name, DNS name, or IP address). Connection to the remote device can be established through tunneling.
