Launch the Delegation and Configuration console, while logged on as an Assistant Admin (AA), with the DRA Administration role.  This ActiveView is created to manage different types of resources on one or more computers across multiple domains. The ActiveView can be created to manage all resources on computers or specific resources only. The types of resource that can be managed are as follows:

• Connected users
• Devices
• Event logs
• Open files
• Printers
• Print Jobs
• Services
• Shares
