AD and Address Book

Hello Ricardo,

Thank you for your message.

something like syncing the Address Book using Dropbox or OneDrive is not going to work. We really do not want to have to install the RU server. Is there really no other way??.

We recommend using Dropbox or OneDrive option for the Address Book synchronization only if you're the only user. For a multi-user environment, it is recommended to use the sync server instead.
Unfortunately, there's no other way to synchronize the address book between multiple techs' Viewers. Here's a guide on setting up the address book sync: https://www.remoteutilities.com/support/docs/setting-up-sync-server/

Also, would the Address Book automatically update and add a new PC when is added to AD? or do we have to manually add it?.

Yes, if the Viewer PC belongs to the Active Directory network, new AD tree record are fetched automatically. However, you can add additional domain controllers using the Add domain controller dialog as well.

Hope that helps.

Cannot enter text of license key into License Key Storage window

Hello Jake,

I'm glad to hear you have figured out the issue!

I will say that it is not intuitive which box one should try to paste into, the large upper one or the small lower one. Once a key is pasted, it is clear where to enter data. But for the first entry it could be labeled "enter code here."

I'm sorry to hear this, but it's clarified in this guide on registering Remote Utilities.

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Hello Jake,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, we couldn't reproduce the issue. Could you please clarify if there's any other license key already added to your License Key Storage? If there's no other license key in the storage, could you please record a short video where the issue can be seen and send it to support@remoteutilities.com?

Looking forward to your reply.

Can you see your FPS (frames per second) during a connection?

Hello Zachary,

Thank you for your message.

Is there a way where you can you see your FPS during a connection?

Unfortunately, there is no such feature and we do not plan do implement one.

Also, is it capped at the dropdowns 25 or if you have it on "High" cpu usage will that get you better than 25?

The chosen FPS value only matters if the FPS is chosen as the CPU usage mode. If any other CPU usage mode is chosen, there's no FPS limitation. Generally, FPS values are conditional as it's slightly different from the regular video format and there are special algorithms that pick the right value.

I'm using it with a work machine and trying to get it as responsive as possible.

You might also try some solutions that are listed in this KB article: https://www.remoteutilities.com/support/kb/slow-remote-connection-speed-performance/

Hope that helps.

No launch icon after installing Host version

Hello Horst,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, before proceeding to further troubleshoot, it's recommended to reboot the Host machine after the installation as it is important to isolate the issue first to at least figure out where the problem occurs.
Here's a relatable KB article: https://www.remoteutilities.com/support/kb/host-icon-is-not-being-displayed-in-the-system-tray/

Please let me know if the issue persists after rebooting the Host PC.

Ability to run Host + Agent on one machine

Hello Horst,

Thank you for your message.

Therefore it would be great if there was a way allow Host + Agent to co-exist on a machine for a scenario like mine.

Unfortunately, there is no such feature yet that would let Host and Agent run in the system simultaneously, and we do not plan to implement such features in our future updates.

I'm sorry if this makes the program less useful for you.

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, we couldn't reproduce the issue. The next time the Viewer freezes could you please try checking the Pause icon in the toolbar menu to see if Pause is enabled and try disabling it?

Also,  it would be useful if you could send us a short video where the issue could be seen. You can send them to support@remote-utilities.com if you don't want to share it on the forum.

Looking forward to your reply.
