Hey, I wonder if someone could recommend some software that would be good for administering remote machines.


I would like to be able to do the following ...
  • Add/remove user accounts
  • Reset passwords
  • Monitor the user (preferably without alerting them)
  • Edit the registry
  • View, Stop, Restart and disable services.
  • Get information such as time of boot for example.
I can do all of the following already using SSH, MMC and remote registry but I would like a GUI and to have them all in one piece of software.

I have used LogMeIn IT Reach which was good but I would like alternatives.

Any suggestions appreciated :)

Hey stoneys-nutz, thanks for the suggestion. I have been testing this product out however I don't really like it that much. Its okay for remote control etc but administration is not really a powerful feature.

Thanks for suggesting it!

Yeah, to be perfectly honest I'm not really 100% on what I want. I'm looking for alternatives to what I already use.

I will be accessing the remote machines via a secure VPN. And I want to do it to manage remote machines? What else what I use remote admin software for? :)
