Definicija: Any device capable of processing information to produce a desired result. No matter how large or small they are, computers typically perform their work in three well-defined steps: (1) accepting input, (2) processing the input according to predefined rules (programs), and (3) producing output. There are several ways to categorize computers, including class (ranging from microcomputers to supercomputers), generation (first through fifth generation), and mode of processing (analog versus digital).
Definicija: An item the user can select in the Options dialog box, Phones tab, from the "Select the default device for calling phone numbers" drop-down list. When the user selects Computer as the default device for calling phone numbers, Communicator uses the Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) connection for making a call.
Definicija: The process by which a functioning virtual machine created in VMware is "converted" to an identical, or nearly identical, virtual machine in Virtual Machine Manager.
Definicija: A server computer that has access to other computers on the network. A host computer provides services such as news, mail, or data to computers that connect to it on a network.
Definicija: The computer that will be distributed to customers on which you install Windows. You can either run Windows Setup on the destination computer or copy a master installation onto a destination computer.
Definicija: A microprocessor combined with input/output interface devices, some type of external memory, and the other elements required to form a working computer system; it is smaller, lower in cost, and usually slower than a minicomputer.
Definicija: A computer that receives an action specified by the OneCare administrator. For example, a computer that is the designated the place for file backup would be considered to be the "target PC" of the backup function.
Definicija: The computer that you are currently logged on to as a user. More generally, a local computer is a computer that you can access directly without using a communications line or a communications device, such as a network adapter or a modem.
Definicija: A computer that is part of a OneCare circle but is not a hub PC or a monitor PC. A device PC has no privileges to monitor or make changes to any other computer in the OneCare circle.
Definicija: A computer within a computer, implemented in software. A virtual machine emulates a complete hardware system, from processor to network card, in a self-contained, isolated software environment, enabling the simultaneous operation of otherwise incompatible operating systems. Each operating system runs in its own isolated software partition.
Definicija: A computer that you can access only by using a communications line or a communications device, such as a network card or a modem, and a remote access software (such as Remote Desktop Connection).
Definicija: A computer that works with data in groups of 32 bits at a time. The Apple Macintosh II and higher models are 32-bit machines, in terms of both the word size of their microprocessors and the size of the data buses, as are computers based on the Intel 80386 and higher-level microprocessors.
Definicija: A computer that uses another message queuing system but, through a connector application, can exchange messages with computers that run Message Queuing.
Definicija: 1. A unique name for a subscription computer that is specified by the solution provider. This is the name that the solution provider submits to the Provisioning Server when configuring a subscription computer or querying information about that computer. The computer name is an alphanumeric string of up to fifty characters.
Definicija: 2. A unique name with as many as 15 characters that identifies a computer to the network.
Definicija: A microcomputer designed for use by one person at a time. Personal computers do not need to share the processing, disk, and printer resources of another computer.
Definicija: A computer that is highly secured so that most users and processes cannot change characteristics of the computer, applications, or files on the computer. Clients are often locked down to enforce standards and to prevent damage due to malicious processes or user error.
Definicija: A used computer that has been repaired and/or tested in order to ensure conformance with certain functional requirements and to allow it to be resold or repurposed.
Definicija: An inactive virtual machine that has been saved to the Virtual Machine Manager library. The virtual machine's virtual hard disks (.vhd files) and virtual machine configuration file (.vmc file) are stored on a library share.
Definicija: A virtual machine that can no longer be managed by the self-service user who owns it because the virtual machine's expiration date has passed.
Definicija: The computer that will be distributed to customers on which you install Windows. You can either run Windows Setup on the destination computer or copy a master installation onto a destination computer.
Definicija: A computer that contains two or more connected and roughly equal processors that can each carry out one or more processes (programs or sets of instructions) in tandem.
Definicija: A computer that is not the hub PC but that monitors the activity of other computers in the OneCare circle. The OneCare subscription administrator designates which, if any, computers in the circle have monitoring privileges. A monitor PC cannot make changes to any other computer in the OneCare circle.
Definicija: A library resource consisting of a guest operating system profile, a hardware profile, and one or more virtual hard disks (.vhd files), which can be used to create a new virtual machine. Computer identify information must have been removed from the .vhd file that contains the operating system files by using the System Preparation tool (Sysprep). Self-service users must use designated templates to create their virtual machines.
Definicija: A fully qualified domain name (FQDN). The full computer name is a concatenation of the computer name (for example, client1) and the primary DNS suffix of the computer (for example, reskit.com.).
Definicija: The name that, in combination with the computer name of the virtual machine's host, uniquely identifies a virtual machine in Virtual Machine Manager. The virtual machine name is a different property from the computer name of the guest operating system.
