Hello Michael,

I'm glad to hear you've figured out the issue and it works for you now!

Thank you for your valuable input, hopefully it will be useful for other users as well.

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Hello Ivan,

Thank you for your suggestion.

I will forward your feature request regarding the fallback port to our development department for a review to see if we can add it to our wishlist and implement in the future updates for Remote Utilities.

As for the fallback server - unfortunately, we do not plan to implement such functionality for now. The reason is that the effort and complexity of implementing such feature (the more complex a feature is the more likely it might fail) far exceeds potential gains. RU server is meant to be used under direct command of the user, so in case if the Server doesn't respond the user can simply restart it - whether it's the machine itself or the RU Server service and it'll be back up and running in a couple of minutes.

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Hello Ivan,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, there is no fallback port functionality for Host/Agent in Remote Utilities when used with a self-hosted RU Server, since it's possible to set up a custom port value. In such cases we recommend setting up the value of the port that is opened and available right away, i.e. within the configuration process - this can be done on Step 4: Settings update by selecting the General and network settings checkbox under the Pre-configure radiobutton. In the invoked Host/Agent Settings window navigate to the Dashboard tab and set up the custom port in the Internet-ID Connection Settings. Sorry if this makes our software less useful for you.

Please let us know if you have other questions.

Hello Michael,

Thank you for your message.

Please try using this Microsoft Tool that helps to automatically fix issues that block programs from being installed, updated or removed. You only need to download the tool, run it and then follow the steps the tool provides.

Hope that helps.

Hello Michael,

Thank you for the update.

I will forward this information to our developers for review as well.

I'll get back to you with an update on this issue shortly.

Hello Michael,

Thank you for the clarification and provided details.

I will forward this issue to our developers for a review to see if we can reproduce it and fix in the future updates. I'll keep you updated on this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please let us know if you have other questions.

Hello Mike,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please clarify if you mean that the Do not synchronize clipboard feature in the Viewer Options was turned on somehow? If this is the case, please try resetting Viewer to its default settings by following these steps:
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 the Viewer settings. Your address books won't be affected by this action, however, you will need to register this Viewer with a license key once again.
4. Run Viewer and see if this helped to resolve the issue.

Please let me know if the issue persists.

Hello Michael,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please let us know what version of Viewer for Mac do you use, i.e. if it's the last version currently available (version 1.0.10.q Beta 10)? In addition please let us know what specific version of MacOS do you use as well? We will try to reproduce the issue in our environment to see if we're able to implement a fix for this in our future updates.

I'm also seeing strange keyboard mapping issues as well.

Could you please elaborate a bit on this issue, i.e. what specific keys do you have issues with and their exact behavior?

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your message.

In this scenario you can try using Agent module instead of Host - Agent can be run by a standard Windows user (i.e. without elevated privileges). Agent does not require installation or admin privileges to run - the remote session is active for as long as Agent is running. For more information please also see this guide on connecting to a remote machine using Agent.

Please let us know if you have other questions.

Hello Charle,

Thank you for your message.

Such issues might be occurring because admin$ (admin share) is not allowed on the remote machine or you don't have access to it.

In addition, such issues might also be caused by the fact that the disc Z is mapped on the Viewer computer and, therefore, is not available and cannot be used by the Remote Install Tool. In order to avoid this kind of issues please make sure that the Z drive/letter on your Viewer machine is empty and available since Remote Utilities temporarily uses the Z drive for the installation/upgrade process via the Remote Install Tool.

Hope that helps.
