The

The

system-management

functions

and

the

remote

protocol

support.

When

IMM

Premium

it

activates

the

remote

presence

functions

and

remote

desktop

protocol

support.

Without

the

you

will

not

be

able

to

or

unmount

drives

or

on

the

client

system.

However,

you

still

will

be

able

to

access

the

host

graphical

user

interface

through

the

Web

interface

without

IMM

Premium.

For

more

information

about

how

to

enable
