Set up additional Endpoint Manager consoles

The Endpoint Manager console is automatically installed on the core server. This console should be installed on Ivanti administrator’s machines that need full functionality or access to all the Endpoint Manager tools. The console is used to interact with the various Endpoint Manager features, for example, to distribute software, remotely control managed devices, view inventory information, and perform other management functions.

For additional utility and functionality, consoles can be installed throughout the network. (Ivanti doesn't charge extra for additional consoles.)

NOTE: Endpoint Manager additional console requirements have changed in version 2024. The core server and additional console versions must match exactly. Also, additional console users that are not members of the Windows "LANDesk Administrators" group on the core server will require that you configure separate database user accounts for them. For more information, see the Ivanti Community.

For more information on supported platforms, see this document in the Ivanti user community: Ivanti Endpoint Manager Architecture Guidelines.
