Specific Info - Opens the type-specific server information window for the selected server.

Configuration Buttons

These buttons allow you to start server configuration tasks.

list, allowing the administrator to select the type of new server to be created. It is always enabled.

Configure - Opens the configuration window(s) for the selected server(s).

Delete - Deletes the selected server(s) from the system. A confirmation dialog will appear to
