Can you please elaborate this? What kind of features are you looking for?

You could manually install the service. Installing PC Monitor Service: cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319 InstallUtil.exe "C:\Program Files\PC Monitor\PCMonitorSrv.exe" Extract from manual installation guide. Paul.

Shutdown instructs the operating system to close all applications and shutdown. Power Off kills the entire system (similar to cutting power to the machine). This operating may cause hardware damage. Hibernate will instruct the operating system to save all RAM to the DISK and then power off. Suspend saves the operating system current status and goes into low energy consumption mode but it doesn't power off the machine. Enter / Exit maintenance mode controls the notification system. If maintenance mode is active that machine will not send any notifications until maintenance mode is disabled. There is no reset function however you can send a Restart function which will properly shutdown and restart your operating system (and if configured will force the restart command, forcing all applications to close [loosing all unsaved data] but it guarantees that the machine will actually reboot).

Hello Markus, PC Monitor already supports vSphere 5.5. Have you encountered any trouble with it?

Well first of all you don't need to login to apply updates, PC Monitor doesn't require any logging it, right? Also I would never allow automatic updates on a production windows server machine. Mainly because of the unpredictable problems that may appear. In two years of my IT Administrator history I've lived to see Windows Server 2003 critical IIS update that 'forgot to start IIS back after the update' or a service pack for SQL Server 2012 that literally killed the application itself and I could go on with a few more. Always apply all updates by hand and always triple check overall system functionality after an update restart. If you would like to automatically install windows updates why not enable automatic updates in windows? That will only install important updates.

Anything that is supported in a .NET you can put into a plugin and it will work. I am very curious about your plugin that caused the Web Application not to load, can you share with us what did you do? Paul.

Hello techtripp, Since Dell OpenManage is closed proprietary software with no public API available there isn't much I can do here. They only expose a CLI application which is useful for some scripts that help you automate maintenance tasks. The only possible way would be to parse the output from the CLI application which is a horror story in the world of programming.

You must add PCMonitorSvc.exe to the safe application list and allow connection to ws0->ws20.pulseway.com (ws0,ws1,ws2,...,ws19,ws20). Paul

Have you forwarded your WoL port in your router? Try the solution in this post: http://forum.pulseway.com/topic/630-help-with-wol-wake-up-didnt-works-for-me/

PC Monitor is already trying to add remote control support and already has a beta implementation however it's only available for Enterprise Servers at the moment. There is another topic regarding remote desktop, maybe you can add your ideas there too.

You can change the session timeout only if you own a PC Monitor Enterprise Server.

Can you please check to see if the msi file downloaded correctly and is not corrupted also make sure you are trying to install the correct msi that is for your CPU architecture.

There is a registry value value inside HKEYLM/Software/MMOSFT Design Ltd/PC Monitor called ComputerName. If both computers come online at the same time I believe one of them will change it's identifier. If not then clone a machine without computer name and identifier.

As far as I know there is no way to filter which notifications get sent from a monitored system unless you disable them for everybody.

Did he write anything in windows event log?

You can use this feature even after the trial ends, it's just that you have to open remote desktop ports (plain rdp) and dashboard will just automate the connection for you. If you wish to try out PC Monitor's remote desktop feature you will have to request a trial of the Enterprise server, install it and then try it out.

You can refer to this thread too: http://forum.pulseway.com/topic/959-windows-81/

As far as I know PC Monitor has a working beta Remote Desktop feature inside the dashboard application however it's only available for PC Monitor Enterprise Customers. But you can use the dashboard to quickly connect to the computers using windows remote desktop however this will require that you would open up the ports in your NAT/firewall.

What is the exact error message? Also what operating system are you using?

You can setup with SSMS a backup job that is set to only run manually. Then if you have SQL Server Agent server set to start automatically you can control the backup job from PC Monitor and you can see the output too.

I believe Calin was asking what type of client are you using (Android, iOS, Windows 8, Windows Phone, Web App) and it would help if you would be specify the operating system version (if it's a smartphone).

In this case you can use an exported configuration (.pcmcfg) that includes your authentication details as encrypted text. This way you can provide your clients with a configuration file and a password for the configuration without having to share the account details that can potentially expose your other systems.

Hello, At this moment there is no dedicated module for Cisco hardware but you can use the SNMP server module to monitor your switch in realtime. Let me know if you need assistance with understanding which SNMP variables you need to monitor.

Can you wake your computer with any other WoL application from outside your home network?
