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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Please run winver in windows 2008 server and tell me which version it's being printed out. Example: Version 6.1 (Build 7601) . Thank You.

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

Try this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314481 .

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

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.

Hello, You can prevent that by cutting the administrative rights from the user.

You can try to enable diagnostic logging to see if he shows an error. You can enable Diagnostic Logging from Settings tab and Diagnostics subtab. Doing so PC Monitor will start writing log details to a file called trace.log that can be found in the PC Monitor installation folder. If you find any error please copy and paste it here. Just my curiosity: Are you sure that the credentials you provided in PCM have access to the databases?

Hello, All logs are saved ON DEMAND, by manually activating diagnosting logging. You can enable Diagnostic Logging from Settings tab and Diagnostics subtab. Doing so PC Monitor will start writing log details to a file called trace.log that can be found in the PC Monitor installation folder. While writing a plugin you can add base.Trace("Message") or just Trace(string) in your code and it will show up in Diagnostic Logging. The only way of debugging your code is by not writing a Plugin but a Cloud Instance, this way you don't have to use PC Monitor's agent and you can embed all PC Monitor's functionality into a standalone application Here is a really nice tutorial on how to work with Cloud API: http://www.mobilepcm...netcloudapi.php And here is the Plugins tutorial: http://www.pulseway.com/netclientapi.php If you want some examples you can look at the plugins forum: http://forum.mobilep...ows-client-api/ as most of the releases out there are opensource. Good luck, Paul.

The main reason would be traffic. Faster refresh rates = more data passing through the server = more expenses. I "think" this can be changed if you own an enterprise server.

You're right, I should have specified. The timeout is in seconds. Paul.

Hello Again that is not a MAC address, the address bellow is an IPv6 address. MAC addresses 6 bytes separated by a dash (-). Also you are seeing them as guest or home user because your sharing settings is set to Guest authentication and you have Home sharing activated which shares your media library. I will see if I can resolve the IP address into a NETBIOS name. I will post the results of this experiment soon.

Hello, You can write a plugin to send an email if multiple sessions are detected, however on a workstation machine I'm not sure how to achieve this as all RDP are limited to one session. For the FTP monitoring it's difficult for PC Monitor to know what other application is doing, the best approach is to make your FTP server write to window's Event Log and then have PC Monitor scan for that particular event id. If it doesn't support that try making it log to file only when somebody connects to your server then have a plugin monitor that file and have it notify you. If you need some help or you don't know where to get started with PC Monitor plugins why not check out the tutorial located here. Good Luck, Paul.

This would mean that you cannot access any secure website because of some firewall rule blocking your navigation, this is very odd to see defaulted inside a router configuration. Does your router support outbound firewall rules? If so create a rule to allow zone navigation from LAN -> WAN through HTTPS(443). If it doesn't support outbound firewall rules try to see if nothing else is blocking the connection, new windows firewall policy, or some weird application that blocks your access. So the steps would be: Check if the router has a firewall that blocks you. Check if the computer has a firewall or a program that's preventing your navigation, (Try navigating to a secure website from your phone, see what happens) Try switching the router back, does it solve your problem? Good Luck, Paul.

Sure, I'll post a reply when it's done.

Hello, You can do this if you monitor the USB port changes with a plugin. If you know some programing why not try out tutorial: http://www.pulseway.com/netclientapi.php . If not wait for two - three weeks until I release my plugin that monitors HID devices and I will make a version that monitor custom usb devices too. Related post: Paul.
