IntelliAdmin遙控-狀態更新
我們研究新版本 遙控LAN編輯 相當一段時間。
在一年期間實際上。
為等待…的那些人它將值得它。
在談論之前我要的某些涼快的特點告訴您所有當前顧客將得到免費升級。 這是重要的事。 為什麼？ 由於，當我們發布3.0我們提高價格。 另外我們也許改變我們准許產品的方式(可能每個客戶而不是每名管理員)。 如此，如果您現在買，您得到3.0為很多較少。
最大的變動將是景色和64位支持。 這聽起來，很簡單在表面，但使我們的產品與景色兼容是我們面對的其中一個最富挑戰性的編程的項目。
我不想要得到太技術，而是讓作為例子…
要劫掠變動在屏幕我們需要稱『勾子的』特別DLL。 這勾子DLL允許代理看所有圖解變動，然後送他們回到客戶。 做所有這工作勾子用途每記憶共有的片斷。 這共享內存*must*對所有過程是容易接近的在系統。
很好，我們用我們的勾子在景色相當一段時間戰鬥了。 為什麼？ 由於，在Internet Explorer被發射了時候我們的勾子將碰撞(有時採取系統與它)。 最後我們確定IE在一個特別有限的方式下現在被發射了，并且，如果您要它訪問您的共享內存您需要明確地允許過程的這些類型訪問它。
這將是容易發現微軟是否適當地提供了此-，但是發現是非常堅硬的。 更壞，需要的API電話不可能編寫以視覺演播室的最新版(很好，在發布了景色)之後。 與一點運氣和許多研究一起使用我們最後得到勾子。
您能想像，這是冰山的一角。 我可能填裝描述極大的變動的100頁必要使它不僅與景色兼容，但很好與景色一起使用。
我們仍然得到所有末端阻塞，并且我有粗略估計大約2個月，在我們發布我們第一beta之前。 比那也許是較少時間，但我想要給我們的隊呼吸空間，因此他們集中而不是質量種族完成
With that said, lets start looking at some of the feature in the new version.
Request access before connecting:
We have a flood of email asking for this. Essentially it allows the end user to have a choice when you connect. They are asked for their permission before you can control their computer. I believe in some areas this is a regulatory requirement (Like being notified that your phone conversation is being recorded).
We wanted it to be clear when permission was asked. So what 3.0 does is darken the current desktop, and display a request form like this:
Now, even this feature gave us some heartburn. We wanted this to be shown even if the user had not logged in yet...and it does do that (This was not easy to accomplish). No matter where the user is at, they will be prompted for access.
Seamless operation during a UAC prompt:
If you have not used Vista before, you might not know what I am talking about. Essentially a UAC prompt is popped up each time you try to do something that requires administrative access. It looks something like this:
Whats the big deal here? Well the big deal is that most remote control software out there will choke when this prompt comes up. RealVNC will just disconnect you. UltraVNC has this wacky disconnect and reconnect feature, but very few remote control solutions have an elegant solution that allows seamless operation before, during, and after a UAC prompt. We have accomplished this in 3.0.
Support for Group Policy, and Windows User accounts:
Currently you simply need an administrator account. Now this will always be true if you want to automatically install the agent over your LAN. What if you wanted to install the agent yourself, and grant all users that are a member of the "Remote Administrators" group "View Only" access? This is all possible in 3.0. In addition, we will make available a group policy template that will allow you to deploy, and manage permissions of agents across your network.
Lets start looking at some screen shots of the software :)
Multi-User permissions
There are three types of accounts available in the new version.
1. Windows users and groups - These are domain, or local accounts that are granted access to the agent
2. Standard username and password - These are username and password combinations created by you, but do not require any interaction with windows security
3. VNC password accounts - Yes. You read it right, support for VNC client to connect to the agent.
Now with 1, and 2 you get a secure connection with Diffie-Heliman key exchange exchange, and 256 bit AES encryption. In addition to that the client supports the full array of features made available in 3.0
If the client is VNC, there is no encryption, and limited support for the new features. VNC support has been added for those customers that have non-windows operating systems and need some way to connect. If you do not add a VNC account, the VNC authentication system becomes inactive.
Here is what the form looks like for adding, or updating these user accounts:
Each user has their own settings:
So for example, you could give windows administrators full access, but standard users 'view only' access.
IP Address Filtering
Out of the box it will allow any IP to connect. Using filtering you could restrict it to a range of IP addresses, or block specific IPs that you have had problems with:
Multiple Interfaces Supported
Most of the time you will only need to listen on all interfaces on the same port. If you have custom needs it is possible to listen on more than one port, and on a specific interface:
Status Window
This has been requested many times over. Some customers have wanted a constant notification while the administrator is connected. When the status window is turned on it is displayed in the top right of the screen. If the mouse moves near it then switches to the left side of the screen. No matter what screen or window the user is on - it will always be displayed. This means even if the workstation is locked, or the user has not even logged in yet...it will be shown (While the administrator is connected)
Here is what it looks like:
Connection Activity
When administrators are connected, it is easy to see who is connected and from what IP address:
That is all I have for now. If you would like to join the beta program (Again...it may be 2 months before you see anything). Please send an email to beta@intelliadmin.com with Remote Control LAN as the subject, and you will be added to the beta list.Popularity: 3%
