Test your knowledge of Server Manager

A tip that tests your familiarity with the Server Manager UI in Windows Server 2012.

Quick Check

  • You want to configure Server Manager so that only critical events are displayed for all the servers you are managing. Which page in Server Manager should you use to do this?

  • Dashboard

  • Local Server

  • All Servers

Quick Check Answer

  • Not the Dashboard, because you can use that page only for viewing alerts raised for events, not for configuring the severity level for which types of events should raise alerts. And not the Local Server page, obviously, because that lets you configure alert settings only for events logged on the local server. So the answer is the All Servers page. 

The above tip was excerpted from Mitch Tulloch's book Training Guide: Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2012 from Microsoft Press.
