at123 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Hi all,I am looking for examples of remote access software whereby I get to host my own server on-site.The only one that I have managed to come up with at the minute is EchoGent.Do you know of any others, not LogMeIn etc as it uses their server, I want to be able to use my own.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroshift Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Any VNC solution will do: RealVNC, UltraVNC, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
at123 Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 I've tried echovnc but not too keen on the implementation of it and security etc.I have looked at a Bomgar appliance, has any one used it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopuss Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 UltraVNC. Used it in my previous job and it works wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
at123 Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 I am going to be supporting external networks though so I could do with software that is encrypted and works on an outbound port i.e the machines on the external network talks into a server on my network. Is there any alternatives to bomgar? or is that best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopuss Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 How about Citrix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranjithsonic Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Am Running a browsing center i control the system through Net Control 2. It's Very help to me to install software, shutdown, power on and even teaching tools are there. Better the Best is Net Control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bj-kaiser Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 another one for UltraVNC.it allows you to run the repeater on your own systems and you have the choice between 3 encryption modules. (MSRC4, ARC4 and AES) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Very help to me to install software, shutdown, power on and even teaching tools are there. Better the Best is Net Control. Thanks i will look at that.Just to clear up what I am looking for.I want something where I can host my own server in my datacentre, my remote systems will then communicate into this server on an outbound port, say 4242 for example.Then I can login to my server and put an EXE or MSI file and say distribute it to all the machines. I am also looking for something with a dashboard, say I set the PCs to talk into my server every 10 - 15 minutes and they dont communicate in I can ring the site up and ask them if the PC has been switched off.I would also like to get remote access to it via the above setup, something like logmein whereby the software talks to logmein server and then I can login to logmein and connect to my pc. I cant use logmein as a majority of the admins of the networks where my PCs are installed have globally blocked it and wont remove the restriction but they will open an OUTGOING port from my pc to my server but I cant find any suitable software.Bomgar is good but doesn't allow me to send out files to my remote machines and I dont think it has a dashboard for me to see if a machine has gone down.Hope that makes sense, thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I am in the process of testing different solutions, so I am undecided.I would add mention of Netsupport Manager, its pretty decent imo; not free though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
