Entering Server/Database Connection Settings
In AdminStudio 2024 R2 SP1, you can define multiple named connections to System Center Configuration Manager, Citrix XenApp, Symantec Altiris Client Management Suite, Microsoft Server App-V, JAMF Casper Suite, and AirWatch distribution systems. This enables you to both have multiple connections easily available during import and distribution, and to refer to those connection settings by name in Platform API commands.
