Dameware Mini Remote Control Uninstall
Bazara Benavides
I've inherited a network that used to run dameware 6.8.1.4 as their remote desktop management program. We've moved to a new platform already and in the interests of security we want to completely uninstall the agent on all of the client computers. The thing is though that the only indication that the software exists is by seeing it running in the system tray, there's no entry for it in control panel and manually deleting folders and registry keys on every PC in the network is very inefficient. I found where the main program "Dameware NT Utilities" sits on our network and I'm able to open it up there. What I need assistance with is generating a list of all of the PCs that have the agent running and then remotely uninstalling it through the management program.
Hi everybody....we are using DamerWare Remote Control v.9 and the Help- Desk/ Assesment Center GLPI...when i tried to setup a link like its written in this blog Dameware / Web Help Desk Integration, everything works fine, instead of filling out the Hostname. In the Assesment Center i got the Link dwrcc://[ip] (which is the argument for getting out the IP of the Client), so that i have a line under the assest like this: dwrcc://192.168.195.15. When i now click on the link Dameware starts with the Arguments filled out i told Dameware (Password, and Username). I could not use the argument -m because the IP is only known in GLPI....so is there a possibility to get the IP fom the Link dwrcc://192.168.195.15 into the hostname field from Dameware???
I can manually install the service and then I can connect, but it is my companies policy that we have to remove the service on disconnect. After I disconnect, and try connecting again I get the same error message.
I created the software distribution group policy and tested it. It gets installed and works and then a reboot later it's no longer there. BUT! I can use dameware and see that the Service is there but it's disabled. I can enable the service and then remote into the workstation but there's no notify dialog. It's virtually instantaneous so that tells me the program is actually installed and I'm not just pushing it out.
I recently tried installing the Dameware Mini Remote driver onto a Windows Server 2012 machine and it continues to report back "The Operating System has reported that a reboot of the remote machine is required to complete the Mirror Driver installation/update". Once you click ok, it lets you in. But, everytime you remote in with Dameware, it pops up this message. The system has been rebooted multiple times and tried installing the driver multiple ways with no success. How do I get around this? Thanks

After installing the 11.2 over 11.0 I have a client that's getting an error when he opens MRC saying 'the message to (old server name) cannot be processed at the receiver, due to an AddressFilter mismatch. They can go in, go to advanced settings and change the server to the new one and work fine, but when they close MRC and open it back up it comes back the old one persists. Is there a cache out there that I can purge? I don't see anything in the registry and uninstall/reinstall doesn't seem to work.
I use Dameware Mini Remote Control to remote into my servers from home. My home PC is WIN 7. I have the free upgrade to Win 10 but do not want to install until I verify DMRC will be compatible with the new OS. I have version 11.1 64bit
1) How do I apply my own certificate to the server rather than use the unsecured cert?
2) How do I load a clients AD environment into the centralized server for remote access. Do I just need one MRC client service on a workstation or server in the client's environment with admin credentials? Or do I need to load a specific server product there and hook it in through the proxy?
Using Dameware MRC 9, I find myself constantly pressing CTRL+ALT+INS at CTRL+ALT+DEL screens out of habit from using VMWare (both workstation and vSphere client). CTRL+ALT+INS is the industry standard key combination to press CTRL+ALT+DEL to a virtual machine. It would only make sense that Dameware has this feature added as well. I can't imagine I would be the only one who finds myself using the CTRL+ALT+INS key combination out of habit. I'm sure there's plenty of shops out there who are into Virtualization and use that keystroke sequence to unlock machines.
We have recently started using Dameware and Mini Remote. When I use Mini Remote to connect to a users pc I'm finding that it changes their desktop display settings. These changes are tied to mini remote because they were reported within a minute of me connecting to their pc for the first time. And, it was reported by users in the order in which I connected to their pc's. One right after the other. I'm aware of two specific changes: the color scheme changes (minor in the big picture but it's the little things that keep them happy), the task bar for example was a deep blue now it's a muted gray color. The biggest complaint is that the windows preview when you mouse over an application icon in the task bar changes from window previews to a list. Previously, if you had multiple word documents open and had it set to not combined icons it would show one Word icon in the task bar. If you would mouse over the Word icon it would pop up little windows for each document you had open and as you mouse over each window preview it would temporarily display that document maximized on the screen. Now, it only pops up a list, that's in, no interactive preview or anything.
Our team uses Dameware (v12) to connect to several different computers. Occasionally, a PC will be added or removed from the list. When this happens, one of us usually updates our saved host list, saves the file, and copies the MRCCv2.db file to a shared location, where everyone else on the team downloads it to their PC, puts it in the appropriate directory, and it works.
However, with the most recent update, 2 members of my team have said that their "Saved Host" list is blank, despite copying down the new MRCCv2 file and making sure it's in the proper place. Other people have downloaded the file and it's working without issue. We've compared settings between someone who has the issue, and someone who doesn't, and everything looks the same. Has anyone encountered this before, and how did you solve for it?
