Monitor server

I plan to create a Monitor server to monitor tasks. My goal is to avoid
using the data servers (5 servers) to perform tasks.
Some of the tasks are log shipping, generate reports, run batch file and add
users.
What is some to the drawback of using the Monitor Server?
Can Monitor Server managing users from other servers?
Any suggestions would be greatly apprecated,

servers it is monitoring...That's good.
There is no Microsoft single interface which will allow you to add users to
multiple servers, if that is what you are asking for... You could write your
own sp or interface, but I think there are probably some 3rd party tools
which may do this for you... ( Embarcadero used to have a tool for DBAs
which did this kind of thing.)
