Remote Cntl > Preinstall RC

The remote control system automatically detects if either WinVNC or RAdmin is already installed on the target machine. If not, then the VSA automatically installs and starts the selected service for you. Automatic installation of remote control takes up to an extra minute the first time remote control is used. To eliminate that first time delay, you can pre-install remote control on any machine.

Note: Uninstalling the Agent will not remove the installed remote control package. Use Remove RC to uninstall remote control prior to deleting the agent.

Install

Clicking Install schedules a script to install either WinVNC or RAdmin to all selected machine IDs. WinVNC is installed on machines that are currently assigned WinVNC as their remote control package. RAdmin is installed on machines that are currently assigned RAdmin as their remote control package.

When an install is pending on any machine ID this page automatically refreshes every 5 seconds until the script completes.

Note: Preinstall RC will not install pcAnywhere or Terminal Server.

Cancel

Cancel pending install scripts for any selected machine IDs.

Last Status

Pending indicates the install will run the next time that machine checks into the VSA. Otherwise, this column displays the status and time of the last time install ran on that machine.
