Not sure if it's required to propagate the configuration over all computers, this might be invasive. If you can modify settings for each computer at-a-time should be enough.

Hello, As 95% of my computers have configuration lock enabled it would be really nice to change / set passcode lock using the dashboard application. Paul.

Well you can do this via registry patches. It would require some custom application that can parse and unparse some encrypted xml data which on execution will take your data from the xml configuration file and write it to windows registry. Now this is possible to be done however I can't do it these weeks. If nobody offers I will eventually write it myself however I don't think it will happen too fast. Why not enable two-way authentication, give them your username and password, and tell them to write it down inside the manager application. After this you can modify the configuration via the Dashboard application.

Also please let me know if your antivirus solution works with this plugin so I can add to the tested products list. Thanks for using my plugin!

I did take a look over it and I decied I will make a plugin out of this. Please allow me a week and I will release it. In the mean time you can use Cptrico's plugin to run powershell scripts that show you the current usage of files. Here are some examples that should get you started

StoreGrid at this moment can only show current bandwidth throttling rules that are already configured for that particular item. Realtime bandwidth and changes to the throttling rules are not supported by StoreGrid's API. Edit: New version is scheduled at 05/03/2012. Updated first post with version 1.1 .

I can tell you one thing for sure. Vembu's api call on Delete Backup command is requiring only backup id, backup name, client id and client name. If it doesn't work then vembu must fix it on their side too.

Hello, Regarding the wrong formatting for backup space alloted this will definately be fixed in the upcoming version. However for deleting a backup does vembu require a 4 didgit pin or you want this to be as a security test only for the plugin? If PC Monitor API will include this feature you can bet I will include it in my plugin. Thank you for using my plugin . Paul.

No, sorry actually I didn't manage to look over it however I plan on looking on it today or tomorrow.

Hello, Due to the community requests (Thread Link) I created a plugin for Vembu's backup solution. Vembu and StoreGrid are registered trademarks by Vembu Inc. and are not owned by me. Main purpose of the plugin: Monitoring and Basic Actions over Store Grid Server. Features: View lists of resellers, customers, clients, backups, alarms and events. View detailed informations for resellers, customers, clients, backups, alarms and events. Configurable notifications for alarms and events by severity. Supported Commands: Activate / disable resellers, customers, clients and backups. Delete resellers, customer and clients (Recursive delete for resellers and customers is configurable). Disable web access for resellers, customers and clients. (Note. Because enable web access / update web access password requires a new password to be inputed these commands are not enabled until PC Monitor supports input boxes in the API). Upgrade trial client to paid client. Acknowledge and anotate alarms with a hardcoded text (The text will be configurable in the future versions). Clear alarms (all or a single one) with a hardcoded text (The text will be configurable in the future versions). Alarm commands got disabled since StoreGrid does expose the API calls for them but there is no functionality implemented at this moment. No client version because of their limited API, if the will update their client API I will implement a plugin for the client too. There is a chance that some data will be displayed as-received from StoreGrid API because of the lack of documentation. You can improve the display of data by providing me examples of all possible cases for that particular item. For example: Backup Status: - 1: Enabled - 0: Disabled - 2: Unknown Thank you for helping improve my plugin. My release is open-source bound by no license. That being said you can freely modify, distribute, claim as your work, sell and / or include in your copyrighted material as long as it doesn't breach PC Monitor's license or terms and conditions. Download Link: Click. (Version 1.2). Changes from 1.1: Fixed critical bug where no detailed screen would show because of new Vembu API Fixed minor formatting problem that was omitted in 1.1 Added more debug logging Changes from 1.0: Fixed some formatting problems Any feedback and plugin ideas will be appreciated. Screenshots: Thank you for using my plugin! Paul.

Hello, I can write a plugin for website checks however you need to tell me if you want to check if the http response is 200(OK) or you actually want to compare the html that's getting returned? Also how do you check for blacklisted ip? They get saved in a file?

Well MySQL and MsSQL are two of the most used solutions and I think it would be great to have them. Also it would be great if we can *hook* to the database module with our plugins .

Hello, The plugin is close to a beta release, once I finish testing it I will release it for the public. This means that Friday will be the release date. Features: View lists of resellers, customers, clients, backups, alarms and events. View detailed informations for resellers, customers, clients, backups, alarms and events. Configurable notifications for alarms and events by severity. Supported Commands: Activate / disable resellers, customers, clients and backups. Delete resellers, customer and clients (Recursive delete for resellers and customers is configurable). Disable web access for resellers, customers and clients. (Note. Because enable web access / update web access password requires a new password to be inputed these commands are not enabled until PC Monitor supports input boxes in the API). Upgrade trial client to paid client. Acknowledge and anotate alarms with a hardcoded text (The text will be configurable in the future versions). Clear alarms (all or a single one) with a hardcoded text (The text will be configurable in the future versions). No client version because of their limited API, if the will update their client API I will implement a plugin for the client too. Thank you for your patience and sorry for the delayed release, Paul.

I like this idea. PC Monitor Web Application on a multi touch dedicated computer sounds too good to be true. I am interested in the outcome of this.

As Marius said custom roms can cause problems like this. Due to the high amount of diferences among roms it's virtually impossible to know where the exact problem is. There could be anything from custom rules that block access to the google's push servers, broken core components... The best solution is to use retail firmware which is also supported by PC Monitor releases.

That's still considered monitoring / spying. You can do this youself in a plugin if you wish so, just make sure it's legal.

Hello, I can confirm that the application writes correctly the values to the registry however in semi rare cases (On windows x64) you will have to go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\UserSupport . I will release an update which uses INI settings this week, this should fix your permission problems. Please let me know if you cannot find the registry values. Paul.

Hello, The application run only as an administrator because he needs to write registry keys. It's very abnormal not to write them, are you sure he has administrative rights. The values should be in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\UserSupport. Please confirm that the application does not write the values to registry. I will make an update soon that uses INI settings, which don't require administrative rights. Paul.

And to get notified too, I'd love to see this feature, I will take a look at it tomorow.

Hello, File Transfer is already planned on the Roadmap . In the mean time you can send your files to your email address and in order to delete it you can do it via terminal. Indeed it's a good thing to be able to download the files. Maybe we can get a Dropbox feature where you can ask the host computer to upload selected file to a Dropbox folder. Let's see what others think about it.

I will take a look over it too, maybe I will make a plugin too. Expect news soon.

Hello, The problem is now fixed, please redownload my archive from the first post. Note: The application requires that the plugin (UserSupportPlugin.dll) to be in the same folder with the application otherwise it will crash just like it did before. Thank you for considering my plugin. Paul.

Hello, You are corect. It seems to be a problem with the application. I am sorry about this. Tomorrow you will have a fixed version. Thank you for reporting the problem. Paul.

Hello, Please confirm that you are have .Net Framework 4.0 FULL installed on your computer, if not you can download it from here: http://www.filehippo.com/download_dotnet_framework_4 . Also what do you mean that it's not opening is it making an error? Please show me a screenshot. Also for the translation you only need to edit the .xml file located in the /locale folder, it's very easy. Paul.

Hello, I love the idea, a bundled powershell script runner. Also it has xml configuration! The folders (Pages) represent scripts that are loaded from xml or is it hardcoded? Can't wait to test it out, Thanks Johnni.
