2.1. Introduction

The Server Administration component object can be used to manage the server in an automated manner from within other scripting and programming languages such as VBScript, Javascript, C#, and VB .net.

Tasks that can be performed include the creation, deletion, and update of user accounts and the retrieval of real time server statistics.

For additional help with using or deploying the component object, you may contact our support team by filing a support ticket online at www.sysax.com.
