Warning Message Before Remote Connection

aaron22 over 9 years ago

Is it possible to have a warning to the end user before making a remote connection with Dameware MRC? I just started using this and some users are a bit weirded out that I can just jump in and start controlling their screen without any sort of warning message. The only indicator is the small icon on the windows taskbar, but most users have the taskbar hidden so from their perspective they don't know when I connect or disconnect.

The best scenario would be an option where they could either accept or deny the remote connection, but I don't know if that is available with MRC.

I noticed I can change the settings before installing the Dameware Remote Client agent under the Additional Settings tab , but how can I make these settings the default for any installation? Or to be more specific, how can I make this setting the default behavior when one of my co-workers installs the agent on another remote computer before their remote session?

Yes would really like to know a way to makes this happen as well. Ideally, every remote control session would begin by asking permission. Is there a way to tell the service to always be installed with the permission required option selected?

I can see the benefits of both asking for permission and not asking for permission. Hopefully, there will be a way to specify this in future releases.

This feature is available for DameWare v7 and higher.
Default setup for when connecting to a new endpoint for the first time without the DameWare Agent.
Bring up DameWare MRC
Close the connect screen
View> Default Host Properties
Select Install Options Tab
Select the Checkbox to include configuration file, select Configure
Select Addtional Settings Tab
Select Permission Required and select OK.
Now when you connect to a system it will ask during the install to include that configuration.
Other Security measures you can configure are also included in my post Dameware: Configuring default settings for end user and remote agent system security
