Remote Server System Administrator

During server management and optimization, the system can be managed both on site and remotely. However, in many cases, the network administrator cannot appear on the server site for various reasons, in this case, you need to remotely manage the server system. Now, this article has contributed a few tricks for remote server system management. I hope you will be inspired by this!

Remote Server System Management Plan allows timed server restart

For a server system with a large access volume, it may be limited by the system's own resources. After a period of operation, the system resource usage will be very high, in this way, the running efficiency of the server system will decrease, and the speed at which common users access the server will decrease. In this case, if the server system can be restarted, this can solve the problem of high system resource usage. However, it is unrealistic to go to the site to restart the server every time. Can we start the server system through remote management of the server system?

The answer is yes! In Windows Server 2003, we can use the shutdown command provided by the system to remotely start the Server system. As long as we log on to the Server system through the Remote Desktop maintenance function, then run the shutdown command in the system running box to restart the server system. If you want the server to start regularly once a day, you can use the task scheduler function to customize a server restart task: first run the Notepad program, in the text editing window, enter the command code "shutdown-r-f-t 10". The f parameter is used to forcibly close stubborn processes and applications in the server system, the r parameter is used to specify the time when the server system is restarted. The t parameter indicates the time when the system is shut down. Then, the code is saved as a batch file in the "bat" format, for example, we can save it as "aaa. bat ";

Next, click the start, program, attachment, system tool, and task plan commands, double-click the "Add new task" icon on the page. The new task creation Wizard Page is displayed. Click "Next" and click "Browse" in the Application List box, open the file selection dialog box and set the previously generated "aaa. the bat file is selected and imported to the wizard window, and a suitable name is given for the new scheduled task. For example, here we set the new task name to "timed start server ", set "execution of this task" to "Daily ";

Click "Next" To Go To The setting page shown in 1. Set the start time of the new task to every day ", click "finish" to end the creation of the scheduled server restart task. In the future, the server system will automatically restart after work every day, so that the system resources that are occupied for a long time will be released in time, and the server will run very efficiently.

Move the cursor to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlTerminal ServerWinStationsRDP-Tcp branch option according to the same operation, and then change the "PortNumber" key value under the "RDP-Tcp" branch option to 9987, finally, restart the server system so that the Remote Desktop Connection Port Number of the server is changed to 9987.

After changing the Remote Desktop Connection Port Number of the server system, you only need to add a new port number after the IP address of the server to establish a Remote Desktop Connection with the server system, for example, 10.176.1.12: 9987. Illegal users do not know the Remote Desktop Connection Port Number of the server system, so they can establish Remote Desktop Connection with the server system at will, in this way, the possibility of illegal attacks on the server system is greatly reduced.

Remote Management Server System borrow external force Remote Management System Process

As you know, any program running in the server system has a corresponding system process. Therefore, you can view the process in the server system, we can understand the running status of the server system and manage the server through process management and maintenance. However, in a LAN environment with a large number of servers, it is obvious that the workload is huge when you go to the site to manage and maintain the processes of each server system, which is not conducive to improving the server management efficiency. To improve management efficiency, we use the professional DameWare NT Utilities4.2 tool to remotely manage server process information:

Download and install the DameWare NT Utilities4.2 program, and run the DameWare program from the "Start" menu. Then, the tool automatically scans each server system and each workstation in the LAN, after scanning, the server icons to be managed will appear in the "Browser" List of the corresponding program;

Double-click the "Processers" option in the "Browser" list. The list of service processes is displayed in the display pane on the right of the option, here we can see which system processes are running on each remote server. After selecting a specific process, we can see in detail the process's ID number, CPU time consumption, memory usage, number of threads, etc. With this information, we can probably determine whether a process in the server system is not running normally. For example, if we can see that the CPU usage of a process is quite long and the memory usage is very large, we need to pay more attention to the system process. If the system process is rarely seen at ordinary times, then we can almost conclude that it is a virus or illegal Process. At this time, we should not hesitate to select the system Process, and then click the "End selected Process" button on the corresponding tool interface, in this way, the selected process can be forcibly shut down to avoid security issues caused by the process on the remote server.

The above are some tips for remote server management. Although you may be very skilled in server management and maintenance, however, there is still a lot of experience in server management and maintenance, waiting for you to summarize and explore.
