I disagree. From what was described to me the "console" is acting
more like a server than anything else. The same machine holds the
database, and is responsible for pushing out policies and such. This is a
server, and as such will sit in our server room. However, for day to day
work, we will need to access it, and currently, the thought is
"pcanywhere". Bleargh. Lousy architecture.
I was told that the "console" box has to be a dedicated box. Any
"dedicated" box sits in a dedicated server room.

Hmm... can anyone provide more details? This is definitely
something that I am interested in. Off the list, if you feel that it needs
to be. I will summarize if there's interest.
