Server on Linux

Hello Piotr,

Thank you for your message.

I've checked with our developers and we will definitely release a RU Server for Linux without GUI in our future updates for Remote Utilities. Unfortunately, we cannot provide any specific ETA on this yet.

Please let us know if you have other questions.

viewer keeps resetting to trial

Hello Neal,

Thank you for your message.

Please, try the following:
1. Fully exit the Viewer File -> Exit.
2. Locate the file config_4.xml in the C:\Users\[Your_username]\AppData\Roaming\Remote Utilities Files\ folder.
Please note that the AppData folder might be hidden by default in which case you need to enable "Hidden files and folders" in Windows Explorer settings.
3. Remove the config_4.xml file from that folder.
This will reset your Viewer settings. Your address books won't be affected by this action.
4. Run Viewer and try registering it with your license key again.

As for the missing address book - please try restoring it from an automatically created backup file as described here.

Hope that helps.

Can I get a list of error codes and/or event codes

Hello Jason,

Thank you for the clarification.

I'm in need of reviewing four log files to see what type of connectivity is happening.

You can find this information in the Host logs, they're located in the following folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Remote Utilities - Host\Logs\
The Host logs store information on when a certain Host was accessed and in what specific connection mode as well as if it was Direct or Internet-ID connection.

I'm looking to verify connectivity, see if any data traversed the connection, etc.

In order to verify connectivity please simply try using the Full Control mode. Please note that all data that Remote Utilities sends over the network is encrypted. The data encryption is always on and cannot be disabled regardless of connection type and user license.

Hope that helps.

RU Internet ID Servers Down?

Hello Trent,

Thank you for the clarification.

In this case, the issue might be caused by something on the Host side blocking or interrupting the connection. In order to look into this further, could you please provide us the Host logs for examination? You can locate them in the following folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Remote Utilities - Host\Logs\.
Please don't publish the logs on the forum as they might contain some personal information - instead, please send them to support@remoteutilities.com.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Jason,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please clarify if you mean the log files? If this is the case then yes, Remote Utilities logs information for Host, Viewer, RU Server and even Agent. Here's how you can locate the log files.
In case if you mean something else, please let us know.

Hope that helps.

Custom Server Security Authorization Error

Hello Andreas,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please clarify if you're able to connect fr om the same Viewer to any other Host that uses another authentication method? In addition, could you please double-check, if possible, if you're able to connect to the same Host machine wh ere the issue occurs if you change the authentication method for this Host in the Host Settings (for example, if you enable the Single password)?

Looking forward to your reply.
