Hello MJ,

Thank you for your feedback!

feature change for the future would like to see username in the authorized server display instead of the computer name.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will forward it to our developers for the review and we'll see if this feature can be added to our roadmap.

Please let us know if you have more questions.

FYI, I see RU Server 2.9.1.0 beta version posted, but wasn't included in the release notes page.

Also, the changelist for 6.12 looks like fixes for stuff that's been annoying for a while, so looking forward to trying the update.

Thanks

Also, when updating RU Server, it looks like it cannot properly close and update RU files and pops up a message that a reboot maybe (is?) necessary.  Having a smoother upgrade process that doesn't require a reboot would be preferred for self hosted servers.

Best regards

Hello Max,

FYI, I see RU Server 2.9.1.0 beta version posted, but wasn't included in the release notes page.

There was in fact one change that is also mentioned in releases notes for Remote Utilities. Here it is:

Added: Viewer-to-RUServer and Host-to-RUServer authorization is now TLS 1.2 based instead of RSA, which makes authorization on the server significantly faster

Also, when updating RU Server, it looks like it cannot properly close and update RU files and pops up a message that a reboot maybe (is?) necessary. Having a smoother upgrade process that doesn't require a reboot would be preferred for self hosted servers.

This is standard for many running services. You may notice the same when updating the Host, for example. Just click OK in prompt windows. Reboot may not be necessary.

It would be better if the viewer could update hosts to 6.12 instead of 6.10.10. You're going to get less beta testing if you need to manually update it out of band on the host directly instead of remotely.

So far, an issue I've run into that I didn't run into or notice before, is that when I click into a Viewer session, the initial mouse click is several inches to the left of where I click, and its super frustrating when you go to click into a window and your click takes effect somewhere else on the screen, taking the main window out of focus.

err, this is annoying. There is a "modify" option to my previous post, but when I go to edit/save the changes, it says I have insufficient permissions.

So, I would have added:

Edit: I just did a host upgrade over RDP from 6.10.10 to 6.12.1. It was in the process of installing, I walked away and when I came back, the final screen saying the installation was finished was 90% off the screen and needed to be dragged back to the center of the screen.
