convoluted host connection

Hello Bill,

Thank you for your message.

I recommend that you use an Internet-ID connection. It will be more convenient for your case.

Unfortunately, we cannot assist you in resolving system administration issues, but it seems that you need to set up a port forwarding if you aim to use a Direct connection. Here's a list of ports used by Remote Utilities. Also please refer to a related guide on how to set up port forwarding rules for the Host.

We'll be here if you need anything else.

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

Please refer to this guide on adding domain controllers.

Hope that helps.

status: connection not available

Hello Tobi,

Thank you for your message.

There must be a network problem. Please refer to the Internet-ID connection troubleshooting guide and try to perform the solutions listed on that page in the order they are listed.

Also please clarify if you have installed Hosts within a home or a corporate network?

Looking forward to your reply.

Server Authentication for iOS?

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

We plan to release an update for the mobile version and add a full-fledged address book which can be synced with the desktop Viewer.

Please let me know if you have more questions.

Keyboard not showing

Hello Marco,

Thank you for your message.

We will now investigate the issue.
For now this workaround should work and resolve the problem:

1. Open the system tray and right-click on the Host icon. In the drop-down menu choose Settings for Host...
2. In Host Configuration Settings go to the tab General - Dashboard. Make sure that you have a Single password method enabled as one of the Authorization methods. Click Configure...
3. Disable the Single password authorization by deselecting the checkbox:
 - 22 Feb 2019 01:52:53
4. Open the same configuration settings window: General - Dashboard - Authorization method - Configure…
Enable the Single password authorization method and click Change password…
Set a new password.
5. Make sure you manually forced the iOS device to unload the Viewer from memory, so that it would have a fresh start after you change the password.

When you've done the steps above the virtual keyboard should pop up.

Hope that helps.

Remote Host; Virtual Box; Ubuntu 18.04

Hello Edward,

Thank you for your message.

Please clarify if you want to connect to a remote Host which is installed on Ubuntu?

Unfortunately, we don't offer the Host for Linux yet.

Please let me know if you have more questions.

Offline/Unknown Status

Hello Christopher,

Thank you for your message.

I recommend that you use Direct connection. It's the best option to use if your remote Hosts and the Viewer PC are on the same LAN or VPN. Here's a related article on connecting over LAN.

If you want a direct connection to constantly show its status then go to Connection properties - Authorization.
Select the Check online status for direct connections checkbox:
 - 22 Feb 2019 09:30:02

You can read more about checking online status of your remote PC in this article.

Please note that for Internet-ID connections only their connection status is checked. You cannot ping remote computers via an Internet-ID connection because the remote Hosts are not in direct visibility for the Viewer.

Hope that helps.

MSI Configurator options.ini

Hello Nick,

Please let me know if you have more questions.

I am using the free version How many Licensees

Hello Glenn,

Thank you for your message.

You don't need to register Hosts. You need to register the Viewer only. You can do it in the License Key Storage, here's a related article on how to get a free license key.

Then you can add up to 10 endpoints to your address book.
Here's a related article in our Documentation: https://www.remoteutilities.com/support/docs/license-types/#Free_license

Hope that helps.
