Plugin updates
I heard a rumor that plugins will be updatable but I'm not sure if this is confirmed or even true.

This would mean that Mobile PC Monitor would have to store your data onto their servers, something that is against their current policy.

Running a predefined command
True, POTS allows you to specify predefined PS commands. However implementing predefined terminal commands is not a bad idea too.

Running a predefined command
Hi Florian, I am not sure why gpupdate or ipconfig /renew aren't working for you. I just tried it on a machine and it seems to be working for me. I'm sure that the Mobile PC Monitor team are aware of the problem with starting applications via terminal, however there's no saying when it will be fixed. It seems you already got the fastest way to start an application. Also if you know some programming basics you can try implementing an cloud api based application that will list some applications you need to open and start them for you on demand. It shouldn't take you more than five minutes! Here is an awesome tutorial on how to get started with the Cloud API Step by Step! Good Luck !

Starting programs from terminal
I use the terminal to diagnose file changes, execute batch processes that collect, archive and move some recorded sessions, disconnect a locked Remote Desktop session, and many more. You are looking only at the limitation right now, try thinking a bit for uses and I'm sure you'll come up with something. Basically anything batch, vbs script, console applications will work.

Notifications for application event log errors
It is not recommended to get notified on each Error event because you will end up getting a lot of them one after another, only filling up your notification box. Why not fill the keyword box with some keywords that interest you. Hint: bluescreen, crash, dump, disk, controller, raid, array

Remote Control / RDP / VNC
Well you can just set the LogMeIn service's startup type to: Manual, have PC Monitor manage the service and just start and stop the service via the mobile application, why would you use scripts when everything is already covered by Mobile PC Monitor?

Truly the real potential of cloud API integration can be easily overlooked. Plugins are mainly targeting every Mobile PC Monitor user while the Cloud API is more for people who want to integrate into their existing solutions, and in three out of four cases the solution is not public and free. I am glad you found C# easy to work with, it was designed to work with the developer, not with the machine! Remember to post your cloud integrations to the forms too so we can all see possible uses for it .

WorldClient
Congrats on finishing your cloud instance. Does the cloud api meet your requirements? I implemented the cloud api once in a lightswitch enterprise application and it runned smoothly.

Remote Control / RDP / VNC
Have you considered LogMeIn? They offer free remote control.

MD5 Hash instead of clear text password
"Even if you store a MD5 encoded password, the hash itself will become your account password and it will be stored as clear text in your cloud instance." -Marius I had this idea once too. I've quoted the answer. Paul.

Multiple Accounts - Home and Enterprise
Hello everyone, I actually had this problem too. PC Monitor for work and home at the same time. I ended up using an iPad for work and iPhone for home, this way I have separate devices and I receive notifications from both accounts. I think that this technique is used to prevent people from flooding Mobile PC Monitor's servers by creating a lot of accounts and spamming notifications. This isn't really that bad. If you really want to have notifications from multiple accounts just buy an Enterprise Server.

SMART Status
I used the following keywords: bluescreen,crash,dump,controller,raid,disk But it was designed to cover a lot more scenarios.

Using Terminal to Start Programs
Go to start -> run Type: taskschd.msc On the right hand side of the screen click on the 'Create Task' text link Write a task name Go to actions and click on Add -> then you can browse for a binary file or even a batch script if you wish. You can even set a parameter if you need. Press Ok to save you task. Open Mobile PC Monitor Manager and check your Scheduled task to monitor (to be able to start and stop if from your mobile device)

Power Management Settings
It is possible to be done via a plugin. I will see what I can do
-
Using Terminal to Start Programs
If you want your processes to start as your username you need to make scheduled tasks and set them to run by manual request only. Then you will need to set PC Monitor to control the specific tasks (you can do this remotely via Dashboard) and you can fire up application in no time

how to use pcmonitor from outside of network
Yes. You will need to set up a port forward from your router. Go to http://portforward.com/ to see instructions for your router.

how to use pcmonitor from outside of network
Well you will need to port forward the UDP 9 port to any of your IP address from your home router. After you've do so you will be able to wake up your computers from outside your home network.

don't know if ths is possible ...
As far as I know Microsoft does not expose these sort of notification when the pc is shutting down. Also it can mean a lot of things, internet down, power outage... Not sure if it's possible to be done and work in a precise way.

Time zone problem
Normally the event timestamps should match, because the data is being exported from the pc then send to your device via the server. So basically what you see on mobile might be an older event. If not tell me the steps to reproduce and I'll take a look too. This is weird because I use event log browser often and never noticed this problem.

How to change account pwd/details
Hello ads, At this moment all account details can only be changed from Mobile PC Monitor Manager application (the agent you install on the computers) by clicking the Account Details button. The Web UI is just another Mobile PC Monitor client. It has no access to your account details, security options and registered computer settings.

Enter maintenance mode via cmd
Or you can create a .reg file for the enabled and disabled file and call it from terminal like this: regedit.exe /s path_to_your_reg_file or even better you can create batch scripts that contain the command and place them in your PATH variable (by default system32 and windows are included in path) then you can type: enablemaintenancemode.bat and disablemaintenancemode.bat With PC Monitor the posibilities are endless Paul.

Database module
You can do this with Services feature. You can view, start, (stop?) agent jobs, and restore them via query (you can add favorite queries to avoid writing them). You can view the server log. All that for MSSQL server.

Vembu StoreGrid Plugin 1.2
With the release of Vembu© StoreGrid© 4.2 they have changed the API structure thus making my plugin unusable. I've already fixed the problem and submitted the new version to Mobile PC Monitor. Also I've finished all the fixes at the size formatting problems. ! Warning ! - Do NOT install the plugin version 1.2 on any StoreGrid© Server that is bellow 4.2 as it will not work. ! Warning ! As always if you encounter any problem with my plugin feel free to let me know! Paul.

FTAO POTS creator - a few issues
Hello, As far as I know POTS is looking for the config.xml that's located in the same folder with the DLL file you linked into pc monitor manager.
