Hey, I wonder if someone could recommend some software that would be good for administering remote machines.




I would like to be able to do the following ...

• Add/remove user accounts
• Reset passwords
• Monitor the user (preferably without alerting them)
• Edit the registry
• View, Stop, Restart and disable services.
• Get information such as time of boot for example.

I can do all of the following already using SSH, MMC and remote registry but I would like a GUI and to have them all in one piece of software.

I have used LogMeIn IT Reach which was good but I would like alternatives.

Any suggestions appreciated

Hey stoneys-nutz, thanks for the suggestion. I have been testing this product out however I don't really like it that much. Its okay for remote control etc but administration is not really a powerful feature.

Thanks for suggesting it!

no offence but you sound very dubious to me

Yeah, to be perfectly honest I'm not really 100% on what I want. I'm looking for alternatives to what I already use.

I will be accessing the remote machines via a secure VPN. And I want to do it to manage remote machines? What else what I use remote admin software for?
