Remote Computer Management Improves Expedience

The idea of using remote desktop management is to control PC's from a location other than in front of the computer itself. This method of management is convenient for those that may have trouble with a computer and can't take the computer in to a technician.

 

Since you can count on someone remotely to fix your computers, you will find that you won't have to pack up the machines and haul them down to the repair shop. If you have several computers in your company pool, you won't have to run the IT ragged going from work station to work station. This works well for larger companies, too. Imagine the busy IT having the ability to access the computers used throughout the building to troubleshoot an issue. The problem could be fixed in very short order without him or her having to physically walk across the company campus to access the computer with the glitch. These tasks can be more efficiently accomplished with the use of a high speed transfer rate that's available in the remote programs. The applications on a computer can be updated or changed, performance checks performed, or downloads can be deposited onto the recipient desktop. The user doesn't need to close what is being worked on for the tech to access the computer. The programs all feature full desktop screens so that the tech is seeing exactly what the user is seeing. Any error messages that come up can be captured in screen shots to make troubleshooting easier. Diagnostics can be run to check and improve the computer's performance.

 

Performance can be monitored remotely and information can be recorded as needed. The technician will be able to see what the user had been accessing before the problem occurred. This can be an immense help in the troubleshooting process and allows the tech to make a quicker determination of the problem. When the tech has isolated the problem with the computer, an action can be commanded remotely as appropriate to the repair process. The computer being repaired can be rebooted, shut off, locked or unlocked, programs launched, or applications stopped. There are different types of remote desktop control software. Some provide only the simplest access and some provide full access including the override of a computer completely. Basic access levels include the interactive access and the capture capability for screen shots. The middle of the road programs usually give the user those features in the basic programs plus more. The capability of shutting off the computer remotely, screen cast recordings, remote user chat options, lists of applications on the computer, performance data, inventory, and the ability to print the information.

 

If you are interested in using a remote desktop management program to expedite your company's computers, the premium type program may be what you need. This type will cost a bit more, but will include all of the features of the basic and medium feature programs plus PC scheduling capabilities, inventory of processor data, printer performance, disk drive data, OS hot fixes, and folders containing programs.
