Remote Access Software

[theboyrob]

We use remote desktop for machines with static ip addresses, but is there anything that can be used without needing a static ip or software installing on the machines?

Thanks

Teamviewer? Only works if there is someone at the other end though.

Failing that, try Dameware. It can be set to remove the software when you disconnect

If your on a domain, all you really need to know is the computer name. the domain should be able to match up the IP address and the computer name.


so Computer name : OCUKSER01 = 192.168.12.3 and vise versa.

hamachi is what you want (if by non static, you mean when users are out of the office, if they are in the office, then emo hug is bang on)

give it a go, it creates a vpn and you can set it to startup as a service, the networks are sort of like an msn contact list

awesome tool, but you do have to install it on each machine and do a tiny bit of configuring



after the vpn is up, you just use your normal remote software to do the rest
