Conrad hello again,

I've deployed the new relay and also some test 7.0.0.3 viewers. I'm running some problems with the latter one, so I want to do some limited testing utilizing the 7.0.0.3 host on certain systems.

In order to keep my 6.10 settings on the existing hosts (especially whether internet-id is enabled or not and, if it is enabled, to keep the same Remote ID) I've created an MSI using the online configurator on which I've basically skipped settings creation.

It seems to work great, albeit one small quirk. I see that the newest host supports the Greek language as well (I'll open a different thread for some notes on that one) which is great! However, since the new MSI uses the old settings, the host is run in English.

Which would be an easy way to alter the language and set it to Greek? I could generate a new MSI, but there are a lot of settings not shared between my hosts, so I'd have to perform a search, categorize clients and generate a different MSI for each category. And the MSI wizard does not allow me to modify only a single property.

Is language something that can be changed easily in registry? If it was I could easily run a GPO.

Or modify the MSI via Orca?

Any ideas would be helpful here.

Hello Conrad,

yes I did follow your instructions regarding the viewer.

The actual issue was that I did not assign the group allowed to receive the license key. After doing so, as per your instructions, I was offered to receive the key upon connection.

Case solved, thank you for your help!

Hello,

in RU relay environment, have there been any advances regarding Wake on LAN via relay? If so, please provide some information on what should be configured from RU.

Hello,

we have an installation based on 6.10, utilizing a RU relay and 6.10 portable viewer.

We have updated the relay to the newest version 3. It seems it provides a way to provide the license key to viewers connecting to it. Is that correct? I did enable this option.

On my portable 6.10 viewer which had a site license key I updated to the newest 7.0.0.3. Upon start I was notified that the license has expired. I did sign-in to the RU relay hoping that it would download the license key to my viewer. It didn't.

Did I misunderstand what the deploy key option in RU relay does? Any info will be appreciated.

I found that the internet-id is embedded in a binary key, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Usoris\Remote Utilities Host\Host\Parameters

As far as I can see this is an XML file encoded into a binary reg key. Which would be the fastest way to change the internet-id part of this key to a value of my own (specifically, insert the id of the old xp system)?

Apologies, I just noticed that I did not clearly write what I am doing. I am replacing XP boxes with new, Windows 10 ones. So I want to "copy" the internet-id of the existing boxes to the RU host installations on the respective Windows 10 rigs.

Hello,

we are in the process of upgrading some old Windows XP systems running host 6.10.0. On each of the new systems I want to ins ert the internet id of that the XP system had, in order to avoid changing viewer options as well for our teleworkers.

Is there a registry key I can change on the new system to set the internet id to the old val ue?

Of course I will first disable internet-id functionality on the XP system, before doing so.

Thanks again. I'll wait for the newer viewer to appear then, before proceeding!

Thank you for your most informative post.

You've covered my questions, but I think I did not phrase my question (3) correctly. What I wanted to ask is whether 6.10.x portable viewers can work ok with the new relay and the new hosts. If they could, I could postpone viewer upgrades till I'm finished with all the host upgrades on my net.

Hello,

1) is the procedure outlined in https://www.remoteutilities.com/support/docs/updating-remote-utilities/#Updating_Portable_Viewer still valid?

2) we had deployed the 6.10 host using group policy. Now we want to deploy the newer hosts, without while keeping the existing configuration. What should I select during the MSI creation wizard to accomplish this task?

3) Finally, we are thinking of first deploying the new hosts and relay server (I presume that on the relay, the new version will keep the configured users and settings). In the coming weeks we will update the portable viewer software of our teleworkers. Is that ok, or do you expect this rollout to be problematic due to incompatibilities?

Thanks in advance for all info provided.
