Redbook Abstract
An Introduction to Configuration Management and ConfigTool, SG24-4707-00
  Abstract
This redbook is intended for management or technical personnel who have responsibility for configuration or inventory management of their local area network (LAN) environments. It discusses some of the challenges and problems being faced in many organizations today in the configuration management discipline and in the control of inventory and assets.

This book first gives you an introduction to the configuration management discipline and some of the areas that need to be considered. It then describes an application called IBM Configuration Management Tool for OS/2 (ConfigTool), which can be used to get started in the configuration management of your LAN environments. This book is a subset of the redbook Getting Started With Configuration Management Using ConfigTool, SG24-4667 (available May 1996), which contains more in-depth detail on ConfigTool, and the ConfigTool application itself.

This book is useful for anyone involved in trying to provide effective configuration management of their LAN environments.
