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.

Hello, I've found the problem and will be fixed on the next release. The bug is only on Pre-Vista Operating Systems. Tomorrow I will release 1.2 . Thank you for your patience, Paul. Edit: First post updated with version 1.2 .

Poweroff is just like you cut power from the computer. It instantly powers down the computer, not recommended

Usually there are no problems with the uptime, as for reliability and snapshots, most hosting companies also offer you backups or full VM snapshots depending on the package you choose. But yes if it's only 50$ a month it's not that bad for all those features..

I don't currently own any Enterprise servers however I think you can host it in a VPS too and exponentially cut the costs. Not really sure if this applies to your case however you can try asking for some free trials at some various hosting companies and see the result. I consider 50$ a bit much for a restrictive instance with 30 monitored pcs.

Maybe, I have no idea to be honest. Using this method it isn't possible to work with server operating systems. @aerohard I am investigating this. I will let you know as soon as I identify the problem.

You can go to PC Monitor Manager -> Registered Computers and from there you can delete a computer and IF the computer is online it will automagically deconfigure himself. Cheers!

You can also try a manual install, see if this works for you. Post Link.

Hello, This could only work if it would be used as a two factor auth support along with the standard passphrase PC Monitor authentication system. It could be nice if you would be able to choose with two factor authentication system you want to use. I did look over their API and it seems that's fairly easy to work with it's just a web api to call and see if the OTP is valid, action which PC Monitor's server should take. Just one question, when you touch the button on your YubiKey how will you get the OTP? It will appear on some application you install or you need to have an application that need to talk with it, just like a dongle? Let's see what others have to say.

I am sorry to hear that you're having problems with my plugin. Please 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. Please copy and paste any errors that are shown there in a reply over here so I can check it out. Thank you.

I am sorry but the API doesn't expose such feature, if you want I can add on the opened file details page an email button however this would work if: I add email configuration to the plugin configuration form and you will have to configure it in order for it to work. PC Monitor's API is getting changed to expose email sending methods. I'm going to wait for a response from MMSoft to see what they think of this and I will post back with the results. PS: Also if you would like to email to someone that is not pre-configured in the plugin's configuration form you will have to wait until API v3 will get released as it will include input boxes which will make it possible for you to write the email address you want to send.

In order for PC Monitor to start you need to configure an account in the PC Monitor manager. That's all that it needs for PC Monitor to work.
