Hi, I'm managing a lot of remote computers for different companies, and sometimes laptop are being stolen. Would it be possible for the host client to send GPS location coordinates, or maybe the WAN IP address, to the RemoteUtilities Server so we can see that info in the Viewer?

Something like this PowerShell Script :

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Device #Required to access System.Device.Location namespace
$GeoWatcher = New-Object System.Device.Location.GeoCoordinateWatcher #Create the required object
$GeoWatcher.Start() #Begin resolving current locaton
while (($GeoWatcher.Status -ne 'Ready') -and ($GeoWatcher.Permission -ne 'Denied')) {
   Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 100 #Wait for discovery.
}
if ($GeoWatcher.Permission -eq 'Denied'){
   Write-Error 'Access Denied for Location Information'
} else {
$position = ($GeoWatcher.Position.Location | Select-Object Latitude,Longitude) #Select the relevant results.
   write-output "$($position.Latitude), $($position.Longitude)"
}
