can i have remote user run the agent, once i am in, install the host

Hello David,

Do you mean that Agent does not start when you're trying to restart it with the elevated privileges, correct? If this is the case, we've managed to reproduce the issue - I will forward it to our development department for a review and ask for their input on this.

when i try to connect to it, i get a black screen.
if i use rdp over agent, the rdp works.
only after that, does my viewer go from black to showing the actual screen.

This is actually already a known issue which will be fixed in the upcoming version 7.0.0.2 - we plan to make it available by the end of this week. Meanwhile, please try the following workaround:
While in the Full Control window right-click on the tab with the connection and use the Send key command (e.g. send Alt + PrtScr). This will unlock the remote screen, so you will be able to connect to the remote Host. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello David,

Thank you for your message.

Yes, this is possible if you use the Restart Agent as... feature. This feature allows restarting the Agent as administrator, i.e. you will be prompted to enter the admin user credentials in order to restart Agent with elevated privileges. This will let you control the UAC prompts on the remote computer when you install software (e.g. installing Host) or perform other actions that require administrative access.

Hope that helps.

Hello Anthony,

Thank you for your patience.

I've checked on the issue with our developers. Could you please enable logging in your Viewer as described in this guide? After you enable the logging feature, please wait till rutview.exe crashes once again and then send us the Viewer log files for examination. You can send the logs to support@remoteutilities.com.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Simon,

Thank you for your support!

Yes, we definitely plan to release Host/Agent for Mac/Linux - it's currently in development and we'll do our best to release it as soon as we can. Unfortunately, we cannot provide any specific ETA on this release yet, but the Beta version will be most likely available to the public on our website, just like now we made Beta version of Viewer for Mac/Linux available.

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Possible way to store a set password with the portable version?

Hello Jaydn,

Thank you for your message.

Instead of connecting via IP over lan, what's the possibility of having it able to connect by entering the Mac address? (I've not yet tried it, maybe it already can)

You can access Host directly via IP address or its hostname (i.e. DNS name).

Alternatively, an even easier way to access remote Host is via the Internet-ID connection. Remote Utilities also has an implemented mechanism that detects a direct route and, if available, automatically uses it even if you're connecting via the Internet-ID code.

Hope that helps.

Set internet-id to specific value?

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

Please try exporting the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Usoris\Remote Utilities Host\ and importing it to the new Host installation - this registry key contains the Host Settings, i.e. you will be able to import all the settings from the previous installation, including the previous Internet-ID code.
Please do not modify the registry key manually as it may also violate our EULA.

The fastest way to save the Host settings from the previous installation is to export the registry key I've listed above and after Host is reinstalled simply navigate to the same section of the Registry Editor and select File -> Import - the Host Settings will be automatically imported and applied to your new Host installation. Before importing the registry key please also make sure to close Host completely by right-clicking on the Host icon in the system tray area and selecting Stop Host.

Hope that helps.
