Remote Administration

Remote Utilities was developed with remote administration in mind. The variety of connection modes tailored to the needs of a system administrator, such as terminal (console) connection, remote shutdown, remote task manager, IT asset management, remote registry and remote program execution, makes it an indispensable remote administration tool.

Apart from specific connection modes there are a number of helpful features that facilitate the remote administration process including: wake on LAN, built-in remote installation/deployment tools, MSI-configurator, and multiple monitor support.

Terminal

In the Terminal mode you get complete access to the command line on the remote PC. You can enter commands and run programs in the Terminal window in exactly the same way that you can in the command line of the cmd system tool.

You can run cmd either as a system account or as the current interactive account.

Remote Task Manager

You can use the Remote task manager to control processes, windows, and services on the remote PC using the three tabs in the remote task manager window. Each of them shows the list of the corresponding objects on the remote computer.

Operations available in the Remote task manager:

• Viewing the process list, terminating a process, simple access to remote process launch
• Viewing the window list with the currently active window marked in it, closing the selected window
• Viewing the service list, running and stopping the specified service

IT Asset Management

Remote Utilities remote desktop software has a special Device manager connection mode for IT asset management in a LAN. It is possible to automatically create reports for the specified remote PCs and export them in HTML or XML format.

When using Device manager allow a minute or two for the program to gather information from the remote PCs.

Network Map

When using Remote administration in a large network it is useful to have the network and the devices in it graphically represented. The Network map feature in Remote Utilities allows you to arrange the network nodes/devices in a multi-layered map and connect them with each other by lines which represent network connections.

You can arrange the connections on the map in any way you need. To make it more convenient, you can use the additional window to draw lines between them, highlight them with different colors, and add additional objects. All connections remain completely interactive. This means that you can open the necessary mode by clicking on the connection you need.
