User Notes for DRSC Version 1.0
======================================================================

You can add the "drscadm" commands to a batch or script file to automate
various user tasks. To limit the stress load on the managed node and
DRSC, you should add "sleep" or "delay" commands of one or two seconds 
between the individual "drscadm" commands.


======================================================================
Known Issues
======================================================================

The following section describes open issues with DRSC.
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Erratic Mouse Movement on Server Screen During Console Redirection
--------------------------------------------------------------------

The mouse movement on a local server appears jerky and possibly
erratic during console redirection. This behavior is evident
especially when using menus or opening windows.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Resizing Microsoft Windows Desktop to 640 x 480 Resolutions 
Causes Loss of Displayed Information
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Resizing the Windows desktop to 640 x 480 resolution causes some loss
of displayed information in the browser when viewing the DRSC graphical user
interface (GUI). The behavior is the same in both Netscape Navigator
and Internet Explorer. Enlarge the browser window to view all the
displayed information.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows Advanced Server Limited Edition Operating System's
Internet Explorer Browser Does Not Support Java Applets
--------------------------------------------------------------------

You cannot use the browser (Internet Explorer) embedded in the 
Windows Advanced Server Limited Edition operating system to
connect to the DRSC over the local area network (LAN) or the
Internet because the browser does not provide support for Java applets.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
DRSC May Not Display Graphical Console Redirection Properly
--------------------------------------------------------------------

DRSC may display only text console redirection instead of graphical
console redirection due to a problem with the 64-bit ATI Video driver
loaded on the Windows Advanced Server Limited Edition Operating system.
You must update the ATI Video driver from the Dell website or from the
"System Support" CD. The installation instructions for updating the
driver are included in a readme.txt file shipped in the driver package.

The required ATI RageXL Video Driver Version is 5.0.2462.6000.

The following files should be part of the driver package needed to
update the ATI Rage XL video drivers for the Windows Advanced
Server Limited Edition operating system:

- ati2drad.dll
- ati2mpad.sys
- atixpad.inf
- readme.txt
