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.

Processes
Hello, There is a solution to stop users from killing the application. Other then this no. You can go to services and set the Restore options. For instance if someone kills your service it will automatically restart, if he kills it again, PC Monitor will restart again then the third time you can set it to start an application or batch script that will start the service again and reset the restore counter. Note: If you would like to protect PC Monitor's task process (for lock and screenview commands) read this. Good Luck.

Screen view dont work for me
Hello, This is commonly caused because someone or something kill the pcmontask process. Please check if the pcmontask is running and if it's not running then someone must have closed it. To prevent someone from closing it make a scheduled task that runs only on manual call and has an action to start the pcmontask. Then you can create a rule that will check if the process closes then fire the sceduled task, this will restart the process every time someone kills it and eventually the person will get bored. Cheers.

Waking PC - any special setup?
Yes you should forward the udp 9 to any IP in the network and you should activate wake on lan from BIOS. Also you need ti enable wake on wan in PC Monitor.

Reboot
Hello, As far as I know you will be getting a PC is shutting down alert when he is rebooting too. (If setting is enabled), and if the system reboots properly you should receive an alert with system is up and running (If setting is enabled).

Multiple event notifications
Hello, This happens only using Plugins notifications. Normal notifications do not require deletition before another one can be sent. As for the setting about resending notification it doesn't exist at this moment. Cheers.

PCMonitorManager.exe removed
It's a false positive because the binaries are protected from debuggers (just like most viruses and other 5 million applications are). All PC Monitor released are signed with a certificate, this should be enough to prove the authenticity. In the mean time I suggest that you manually create exception rules for the PC Monitor folder. G Data... never heard of them.

So I have a plugin....
Why not consider upgrading to esx or vmware player too? It's almost the same thing as the server version.

Better Dashboard and other Things...
Not sure if it's wise to store all the data on a mobile device. I would rather choose to have an option to keep data on an enterprise server.

So I have a plugin....
The order is not selectable and the icons are not customizable at this moment. Glad to see someone trying out the plugin system !

Support for Agent-less monitors
Agent-less computers can be considered application instances. You can achieve that by writing a cloud-api based application. Here is a really nice tutorial on how you can do that, it's really simple. Also there are some features that can be used to monitor remote services too (Ping, Ports, Exchange, VMWare, SQL). Also you can create a plugin that will be installed on a pc with Mobile PC Monitor installed that is used to get WMI information from remote computers and display / notify them on request. It's only limit is your imagination.

Local IP Address
Hello, Plus one! This is something that would help, however this comes with a problem too: Which IP should be displayed from which adapter? A network adapter can have multiple ips and a computer may have multiple adapters. It could work if you only display Local IP Address and if you tap on it to show you a list with all ips grouped by adapters. Nice monitor support btw. It fits great for PCM! Paul

No upgrades will be affected and yes you can install and uninstall or just delete the service reference and the files.

Password Protect uninstall?
The easiest way to prevent a user from uninstalling it is by removing it's installation entry from registry, this way the application will no longer show up in the uninstall screen. You can use CCleaner to delete that registry entry. Ofcourse there can be an official feature for this but I don't think that this will be for the good of all users.
