In thise situations, as a SAS admin, you have the possibility and means to install SAS clients on the server.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>But to answer the OP's question: it's there if it was installed&nbsp; contact the SAS server admin and/or the person responsible for the installation. If SAS did the installation, chances are that they left you with an installation report.</P> <P>If it wasn't installed, you could&nbsp;probably install it now, check your SAS SW Depot. If it's missing there, you may need to place a new SW order to SAS, or use a SAS client SW Depot - if existent.</P> Thu, 10 Dec 2015 07:53:33 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/Administration-and-Deployment/How-do-you-start-management-console-on-the-server-in-SAS-9-4/m-p/238638#M3726 LinusH 2015-12-10T07:53:33Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/Administration-and-Deployment/How-do-you-start-management-console-on-the-server-in-SAS-9-4/m-p/238824#M3734 <P>I've also worked at companies where remote login sessions to SAS servers was restricted to IT admin only. In that situation your only choice is to use SMC on PCs&nbsp;<img id="smileyhappy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="https://communities.sas.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.png" alt="Smiley Happy" title="Smiley Happy" />.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>I would suggest though that it is best practice to run SAS SMC on client PCs, as servers should be dedicated to server activities only.</P> Fri, 11 Dec 2015 02:53:22 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/Administration-and-Deployment/How-do-you-start-management-console-on-the-server-in-SAS-9-4/m-p/238824#M3734 SASKiwi 2015-12-11T02:53:22Z
