Radmin Remote Desktop
Delena Femmer
Then you can remote into any computer you setup. I do recommend that you setup up all permissions and passwords for security. The tools above the viewer windows are excellent, like transferring files from one computer to the other or copying and pasting for one to the other.
I find RDP (remote desktop) to perform best for me, BUT, it forces any user logged in to logoff. There are many times this is a great choice, but also many times its the wrong choice. NOTE: I do not prefer setting up terminal services as a workaround.
I asked about Radmin so I could test the performance compared to VNC as well as see how to choode a custom remote option. I see claims from both sides on which is faster and I wanted to be able to find out for myself.
I am also worried about the difficulty of remote access from outside the intranet. We have a few static IP addresses from the internet side, but certainly do not have a one-to-one relationship for most individual PCs or Servers. I have been using port forwarding but this is a pain to setup. I am just now looking into something like EchoVNC where its uses a packet relay server (EchoServer) and looks like it would greatly simply adding/removing remote connections through a firewall using NAT.
Even if it would work there is of course this limitation that windows or programs on the distant machine are not recognizable. What would be the best way to enable deliberately Sets of Hotkey Macros while working in one program and disable them or change this set of macros if changing to another program? Any idea? Im talking about sets of up to 20 Macros.
Since you are activating the macros with hotkeys, perhaps you could make the scope Global rather than window-specific? Even if you can't let them run permanently as Global, maybe that would get you through some additional testing.
I don't know how Radmin handles display of the remote machine's windows. With Citrix applications I have found ME can recognize partial window titles, enough so that macros can be activated by the appearance of a window. But when I have limited the macro's scope to window-specific it has been less predictable. Some ME functions, like hiding a Citrix window, have been unreliable at best. As you would expect, trying to use controls within a window doesn't work because the controls aren't really "there" from a Windows perspective. But keyboard actions work fine.
I have processors in India that use our system through Citrix. What we found out that works best is we installed ME on the citrix server and had ME operate from there. I would assume if you could install ME on the computer your "calling" your keystrokes then would activate the commands using the local ME program on that computer. Of course your specific macros would have to be loaded on that computer's macro express.
In addition, if you do this, when you go to invoke macros that are on the slave you need to terminate macro express on your computer. If I am working on the citrix screen and invoke a macro, usually my personal computer's macro express activates first. Therefore, I terminate my personal pc's macro express when I work on the Citrix screen. If you put ME on the slave computer you can then get specific as to windows to recognize. Hope this additional information helps.
Good points, John. If ME can be installed on the remote computer, it will run more reliably and more ME functions will be available. We have an application hosted by a remote data center on Citrix servers, and would dearly love to run ME on the Citrix servers. Unfortunately the hosting company will charge us $5,000 per month to do this, because ME is not on their "standard" application list. So we are doing extra work to make ME work locally on each user PC.
I did some additional testing. Even global macros which are running in every window are not working in radmin. I dont know why. Installing MEX on the distant pc is not an option for different reasons.
Anyway im still looking for the function to switch/force large Macros sets global. For this and another question i started two new threads. I would love to put a link in here but i dont know how. Sorry

He routinely remotes into this machine but the performance is lousy - we're looking for the highest fidelity remote desktop solution available for this. TeamViewer, GoToMeeting, and LogMeIn have proved inadequate.
Should we be looking into Citrix or something like that (none of us have any experience with it)? Basically what we need is the lowest-latency, highest performance app we can get. (The client realizes remote connections will never be up to speed but at the very least a reasonable amount of color fidelity would be nice.)
Bandwidth isn't currently a consideration here - we'll end up testing any solutions for real world performance but we really need to know where to look. I'm sure we can manage SOME kind of improvement.
RDP (Remote Desktop) is going to be significantly better than anything VNC-based, simply because of its architecture. RDP sends drawing commands instead of bitmaps, so it's much more efficient and responsive than just about anything except for Citrix.
The only VNC variant I've seen that has much better performance than the rest of the pack is UltraVNC with the mirror driver installed. Once that's installed and configured correctly you'll get a good experience, but it still pales compared to RDP.
I am working on a project needs a screen cast/screen share/remote desktop control feature. The software should be able to broadcast the screen of one PC to at least 16 other PCs in real-time and the administrator can monitor and control activities at any PC in real-time also. Is there any SDK (free or commercial) available?
I have information that not very expensive commercial VNC SDK solution are provided by abtoVNC here. They sell SDK and sources of VNC protocol based custom remote desktop solutions for Windows, Android and iOS
Whenever I connect to my computer using Remote Desktop, audio works for every other program, even Adobe programs, but not for Premiere Pro. I've made sure the audio works on my actual PC, but whenever I try to do work on my laptop, no audio plays whatsoever. It's driving me nuts!
