Remote Computer Management Creates Prompt Repair

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.

 

The idea here is that if you are having issues with your computer you can contact an IT or computer repair shop to help you repair it and get you back to work without dismantling the office and packing up the computer to take it to a shop. Larger offices and companies can make very good use of these programs. The company IT will be able to access the computers in the company from his or her office and will save time. IT's spend lots of time, traditionally, walking the beat of the office and going from computer to computer troubleshooting the machines and tuning them up for better performance. The programs available run on a high transfer speed so the process can be quickly executed. There is access of other computers through network connections. An IT or other person assigned to help with computer issues can remain in place and access your computer remotely. They will see your desktop just the way you see it. Whatever you may have been working on doesn't need to be shut down while the process is in progress.

 

A full desktop screen can be observed by the technician to make it easy to see what may be happening. Screenshots can be captured and kept for reference or research, as in the case of an error message or other special information that may be needed to do a diagnostic on the computer. Remote computer performance can be watched by the tech and any information that is relevant to the problem can be recorded. The IT will be able to discover what the user is experiencing, which is much easier and more effective than the user trying to explain the problem to the tech.

 

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. You will have the option of choosing from different styles of remote program. The most basic program will allow remote access including the full size desktop that the user is seeing, screen shot captures, and other interactive features. 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.
