Does SpaceObServer need to be installed directly on the file server or can it be loaded on a workstation and monitor a server remotely?

Question / Problem

Do I need to install SpaceObServer directly on the file server I want to scan, or can it be installed on a different server/machine and monitor the server remotely?

Answer / Solution

SpaceObServer can scan server shares remotely via UNC convention or mapped drives. So, there is no need to install it directly on the file server you want to monitor.
