Remote Server access gone

Hello Alain,

Thank you for the clarification.

In this case, could you please send us the latest Host log files for examination (i.e. one of the Hosts that you connect to via your custom RU Server)? You can locate them in the following folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Remote Utilities - Host\Logs\.
You can send the log files to support@remoteutilities.com or create a ticket in the Ticket System and attach the logs to the ticket.

Looking forward to your reply.

Remote Server access gone

Hello Alain,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please clarify if your RU Server is updated to the latest version 3.1 as well? In case if it's not updated to the latest version yet please try updating it as well, so that your Host, Viewer and RU Server versions all match since some new additions were implemented to the RU Server in the latest update as well.
The latest version of RU Server 3.1 is available for download on this page.

Please let us know if the issue persists after updating RU Server as well.

You computer has been connected in a remote session...

Hello Peter,

Thank you for your message.

How do I remove it since it is a legitimate connection ? This message assumes unauthorized access.

This connection alert is persistent and cannot be removed. The notification was added for security reasons and is shown for all trial and free license users. Sorry if this makes our software less useful for you.

By the way the grammar is wrong as well ... it should be " Your computer..." not "You computer..."

Thank you for the feedback. We'll make sure to correct this typo as soon as possible.

Please let us know if you have other questions.

Slow connection on LAN, but faast via internet

Hello Andreas,

Thank you for the clarification.

Could you please send us the Host log files for examination? You can locate the logs in the following folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Remote Utilities - Host\Logs\.
Please send the log files to support@remoteutilities.com and do not publish them on the forum as they might contain personal information.

Looking forward to your reply.

Does Remote Utilities make use of the exploitable Log4j code?

Hello John,

Thank you for your message.

I've checked on this with our development department and they have confirmed that all Remote Utilities modules are safe and are not affected by the Log4j vulnerability since Remote Utilities does not use the affected library.

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Two factor authentication option Internet only

Hello Glen,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, currently it's not possible to enable the 2-factor authentication feature only for one type of connection, i.e. if it's enabled then you have to use 2FA every time you connect to a remote Host regardless of the connection type. However, I'll forward this to our development department for a review to see if we can implement this feature in our future updates.
Sorry if this makes our software less useful for you.

Please let us know if you have other questions.

Slow connection on LAN, but faast via internet

Hello Andreas,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please clarify if you mean that when you use Direct connection the connection speed and performance are slower than when you connect to the same Host via the Internet-ID connection?
If this is the case please try referring to this KB troubleshooting page and see if any of the solutions listed there help to improve the connection speed when using Direct connection.

Hope that helps.

When host was last online; Email notification when host is back online

Hello Filip,

Thank you for your message.

1. How can I check when the host was last online - so I know if this was 10 min ago or 10hrs ago?

Unfortunately, Remote Utilities does not support the "last online" feature yet. However, we already have it on our roadmap, so it will be definitely implemented in our future updates. Unfortunately, we can't provide any specific ETA on this yet.

2. Can I get an email notification when the host is ready to connect to?

Unfortunately, Remote Utilities does not support an email notification feature. However, you can enable the Notify me when connection is online option in the Viewer Options -> View tab if you're not using it yet. This feature will send a desktop notification when connection appears online.

Can I at least get a loud Audio notification when the host is ready to connect

Unfortunately, sound is not supported within the existing "Notify me when connection is online" feature. I will forward this to our development department for a review to see if we can add the sound support in our future support. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please let us know if you have other questions.

Some viewers see some connections on-line others off-line.

Hello Douglas,

Thank you for the clarification.

I was trying to ask about whether there were problems with the systems
operation if the software was not installed with "run as admin", I meant general operability, not the throughput
performance.

Thank you for sharing your input with us. There shouldn't be any difference when installing Remote Utilities using the "run as admin" feature or without it. We also haven't had any reports from other users regarding such scenarios. Even though installing Viewer and Host already requires user to have admin privileges (users without admin privileges can only run Agent), we'll still test it out in our environment and I will forward this to our developers as well to see if they can provide any input on this. I'll get back to you if there are any updates on this.

Please let us know if you have other questions.

Full iOS viewer update?

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

I will check on this with our development department to see if there's any ETA on the address book feature for the mobile Viewer and will get back to you with an update on this shortly.
I apologize once again for keeping you waiting.

I'll keep you updated on this.
