Setting up Unattended Access on another computer

[Nicholas Handy]

Hi All,

From time to time it is handy to be able to access another computer in school for remote assistance - Unattended Access is necessary on a olot of occasions.  Is there any free programs to make this possible?

We used to use Logmein when it was free,  We moved to Teamviewer but they see schools as commercial - I ask you.  Chrome CRD is ok but not possible to do unattended access with it.

I came across a positive review of Anydesk .. here's what they say about unattended access

Are you on a domain controller ?? Why don't you use Remote Desktop ?

Thanks Brendan,

I'll follow up on that.  Haven't heard of it before now.  I'll look at the reviews too.

Thanks.

Yes Hassan,

The Laptops are in Domain but often I'm not or they're not so Remote Desktop wouldn't always work.

Thanks

remote desk top should always work, its not that hard to fix it. Windows Remote Desktop is as close to peer to peer as you're gonna get that's really what you want rather than something that goes through an outside server.

[Nicholas Handy]

i would say that up to 80% of the connections are being made outside the Domain environment so it is easier to making all the connections through outside.

Thanks Hassan

Coolio, I was just talking about trouble shorting is easier when everyone is on the same network.

Is that for unattended access?  

[Nicholas Handy]

Ray,

I had a quick look at that but it seems to me that you need order number to avail of the service.  Or am I missing something?

Thanks

You can setup both unattended and client. 

With client, the client clicks and installs a file, a code is generated, you put it (the code) in on your side and a connection is made . 

Unattended is ...... you know what that is :) 

It's the most simplistic solution I've used and from my point of view is worth the money.

Thanks Hassan.I'll follow up on it but as is the nature of things financial,  Primary Schools Budgets are stretched.

[Hassan Dabbagh]

The cost of it form 6/7 months is the same as 4 call out charges just keep that in mind. But I understand what you're saying. If you'd like it see it running please feel free to contact me if me happy to show you.

Hi Nicholas,

I have unattended access setup in all the schools I service. I use both a combination of Teamviewer and Meraki as well.

Teamviewer comes in a variety of different flavours, but is completely free. Simply install “Teamviewer Host” on the remote machine. Enter your own password and provided the computer is on - you can access it.

Cisco Meraki is a great solution as well - but very slow for screen sharing. However - Meraki will always connect solidly. It is also free to sign up, but the interface is not the easiest to navigate. Also - I believe the model is changing, but for the moment it is still free.

It’s worth noting that there is a new interface for Meraki which discourages setting up the client installer, but there is a link to use “old interface” which makes it simpler.

If you need guidance - feel free to give me a shout.

Many thanks,

Chris Reina

[Nicholas Handy]

Thanks Chris for your advice but I would question whether Teamviewer is free.  Certainly you can install it on any number of machines but all too quickly the jowl with the scowl appears warning you of Commercial Usage.  Or am I on a different page.

Nick

Chris Reina about.me/chrisreina

[Rickie]

Hi Nicholas

I encountered the same problem with Teamviewer I now use Remote Utilities it allows access to 10 machines for free.

Regards Rickie

[Chris Reina]

Hi Nicholas,

It may be a usage issue - certainly when you terminate a session, it informs you not to use it commercially and “thanks for playing fair” messages, but during usage this doesn’t happen.

It may happen however when connected to multiple machines simultaneously. The most I’ve been connected to concurrently is 3/4 and I haven’t gotten the message during usage there.

If your requirements are multiple machines concurrently, it may be worth looking into investing in a paid for service.

A few other options include Join.me; Crossloop; Screens (Mac); ShowmyPC; Screenleap; Goto meeting.

Most use VNC as the protocol and there are a slew of controllers out there. TightVNC is a good choice as it installs as a service rather than an app. (Like Meraki)

Just a final note - as always, when opening up a machine to the outside world, ensure proper security measures are in place.

Cheers,

Chris
