Hello Ricardo,

Thank you for your message.

something like syncing the Address Book using Dropbox or OneDrive is not going to work. We really do not want to have to install the RU server. Is there really no other way??.

We recommend using Dropbox or OneDrive option for the Address Book synchronization only if you're the only user. For a multi-user environment, it is recommended to use the sync server instead.
Unfortunately, there's no other way to synchronize the address book between multiple techs' Viewers. Here's a guide on setting up the address book sync: https://www.remoteutilities.com/support/docs/setting-up-sync-server/

Also, would the Address Book automatically update and add a new PC when is added to AD? or do we have to manually add it?.

Yes, if the Viewer PC belongs to the Active Directory network, new AD tree record are fetched automatically. However, you can add additional domain controllers using the Add domain controller dialog as well.

Hope that helps.

Hello Jake,

I'm glad to hear you have figured out the issue!

I will say that it is not intuitive which box one should try to paste into, the large upper one or the small lower one. Once a key is pasted, it is clear where to enter data. But for the first entry it could be labeled "enter code here."

I'm sorry to hear this, but it's clarified in this guide on registering Remote Utilities.

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Hello Jake,

Thank you for the provided video.

I'll forward the issue to our developers to see what can be done to fix it.

I'll get back to you with their reply soon.

Hello Jake,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, we couldn't reproduce the issue. Could you please clarify if there's any other license key already added to your License Key Storage? If there's no other license key in the storage, could you please record a short video where the issue can be seen and send it to support@remoteutilities.com?

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Zachary,

Thank you for your message.

Is there a way where you can you see your FPS during a connection?

Unfortunately, there is no such feature and we do not plan do implement one.

Also, is it capped at the dropdowns 25 or if you have it on "High" cpu usage will that get you better than 25?

The chosen FPS value only matters if the FPS is chosen as the CPU usage mode. If any other CPU usage mode is chosen, there's no FPS limitation. Generally, FPS values are conditional as it's slightly different from the regular video format and there are special algorithms that pick the right value.

I'm using it with a work machine and trying to get it as responsive as possible.

Hello Horst,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, before proceeding to further troubleshoot, it's recommended to reboot the Host machine after the installation as it is important to isolate the issue first to at least figure out where the problem occurs.
Here's a relatable KB article: https://www.remoteutilities.com/support/kb/host-icon-is-not-being-displayed-in-the-system-tray/

Please let me know if the issue persists after rebooting the Host PC.

Hello Horst,

Thank you for your message.

Therefore it would be great if there was a way allow Host + Agent to co-exist on a machine for a scenario like mine.

Unfortunately, there is no such feature yet that would let Host and Agent run in the system simultaneously, and we do not plan to implement such features in our future updates.

I'm sorry if this makes the program less useful for you.

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, we couldn't reproduce the issue. The next time the Viewer freezes could you please try checking the Pause icon in the toolbar menu to see if Pause is enabled and try disabling it?


Also,  it would be useful if you could send us a short video where the issue could be seen. You can send them to support@remote-utilities.com if you don't want to share it on the forum.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello John,

Thank you for your message.

Is this something installing the display driver will help with?

The monitor driver is used for the blank remote host feature, it doesn't affect the multi-monitor capabilities or the ability to switch between monitors. We recommend installing the monitor driver only if you need the "blank remote screen" feature, that is if you provide remote assistance and need to hide your actions from the person sitting at the remote Host machine. Here's a relatable KB article: https://www.remoteutilities.com/support/kb/what-is-a-monitor-driver/

Please try adjusting the FPS manually. To do this, in the main Viewer window right-click on a remote connection and select Properties. Navigate to the Color and CPU section. Move the slider to the FPS mark first and then select a desired number in the drop-down list:

Please let me know if the issue persists.
