  DameWare Mini Remote Control

Don't be fooled by the name "Mini"! The DameWare Mini Remote Control (DMRC) program is loaded with numerous features to help IT professionals get the most out of remote control connectivity. Unlike other Remote Control programs, the installation of the Mini Remote Control Client Agent does not install low-level drivers nor does it replace any existing Operating System drivers. This in turn eliminates a reboot of the remote machine when connecting. By simply using Microsoft Windows API calls to interact with the local and remote machines, the Mini Remote Control is considered to be the most lightweight and independent remote control application on the market. Hence the term "Mini."

The Mini Remote Control program offers quick and easy "on the fly" deployment of its client agent service to remote machines.* Giving an administrator the ability to remotely install the client agent service eliminates the need to physically visit the remote machine to install the software. This gives administrators the unique ability to remote control any machine on the LAN or WAN (across town, across the country, or even around the world) in a matter of seconds.

The Mini Remote Control includes extensive features with regard to security and encryption, including multiple authentication methods primarily designed to use the Operating System's built-in security. It also offers the option of encrypting all communications between the remote and local machines. Essentially, for any type of encryption the Mini Remote Control uses Microsoft's cryptographic services providers (CSPs) & CryptoAPIs, taking advantage of today's standards for Encryption, Hashing, and Key Exchange.

Version 5.5 and above of the DameWare Mini Remote Control program is also the only known third-party remote administration tool with the ability to perform an Interactive Smart Card Login as well as Remote Smart Card Authentication, using a Smart Card and PIN from your local machine. This also does not require any type of Smart Card Middleware, nor does it even require a Smart Card reader installed on the remote machine.

With tons of settings and features, the Mini Remote Control can be customized to fit your network environment. The Mini Remote Control makes the NT Utilities software suite the ultimate administrative tool for managing Windows based networks. No network is too big or too small for the DameWare Mini Remote Control.

DameWare Development's affordable licensing policy is also based on the number of administrators actually using the software, regardless of the number of servers or clients accessed. The 30-day trial version is fully functional and free technical support is available via email both during and after the evaluation period.

So go ahead download the 30-day evaluation today, and find out how easy your life can be when you start to "do IT Remotely".


* Remote deployment of the client agent service requires Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 with File and Printer Sharing enabled.
