Future possibility [Subscriber] - Remote Keyboard (and maybe mouse) input?
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.

Bug or feature - not sure
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.

Add a user
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.

Remote desktop issues
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.

Remote desktop issues
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.

SQL Backup
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.

Notes in all Apps
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).

Separate credentials for web management interface and clients
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.

Please check that the device has full access to the machine, that the shutdown command is enables in system tab in PC Monitor Manager and the command is not hidden inside the Display tab in PC Monitor Manager. Also if you are using associated accounts make sure you have full access. Paul

(Help with WOL) Wake up didnt works for me
Those are two diferent actions. While the computer is online the application can comunicate with PC Monitor but while the computer is offline PC Monitor must ask your computer's hardware to wake up and depending on the network's arhitecture this request is most likely blocked. Most residential networks are behind one or more NAT which prevent the wake command from being forwarded to your computer. Have you tried opening the WOL port in your router/modem?

Windows 8.1
Step 1. Locate ntdll in your system drive\windows\system32 folder. Step 2. Run cmd as an administrator. Step 3. Execute: takeown /f systemdrive:\windows\system32\ntdll.dll Step 4. Execute: icacls systemdrive:\windows\system32\ntdll.dll /grant yourusername:f Step 5. Rename ntdll.dll to something else: move systemdrive:\windows\system32\ntdll.dll systemdrive:\windows\system32\ntdll.dll.old Step 6: Execute sfc /scannow Execute the steps at your own risk, always make a full backup before messing with system files.

Dell OpenManage Server Reporting / Alerting
I've finished my plugin that sends notifications to PC Monitor. Using this you can update your script to use the console application included in the plugin so that you receive a PC Monitor notification instead of an email. As for a plugin for OpenManage itself I cannot help you until you provide more information about the platform. Does it have any public SDK or API you can use to gather the data you want to see on your phone. The file used in the powershell script outputs string data to the standard output and I'd rather not perform string comparison inside my plugins so unless you can properly integrate the plugin on dell's dataset you will have to use your current script to get real-time updates.
