Hello Trent,

Thank you for your message.

Didn't see that mentioned in the release notes.

We mentioned it in the second paragraph of the release notes.

Safe to assume that the new "Keyboard" section under the "Remote Screen" section in the connection properties is a replacement to the old "Use Legacy keyboard input model" that used to be in the "Mode" area?

Yes, we moved the keyboard input mode settings into the Keyboard section. Also, we made the choice more intuitive for users.
Please note, that the Scan code input mode is enabled by default.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Hello Sean,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please elaborate a bit more on the error or point to more detailed information? Also, it would be very helpful if you send us a screenshot of the error.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Rambo,

Thank you for your message.

We just released a new version of Remote Utilities where we implemented some fixes to our servers and fixed an issue with RU Server which used to cause client authorization to drop.

Please, try updating Host, Viewer and Server to the most recent version and see if this resolves the issue. You can download it on this page: https://www.remoteutilities.com/download/

Please let me know if the problem persists.

Hello Rob,

Thank you for your message.

We are currently working on Viewer for Mac. Host and Agent will be available some time later after that. Unfortunately, we cannot provide an ETA yet.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

I can't just point the software to old version and create them, nor can I make some kind of install template that would let me easily generate new versions each release...

A feature that will let our users save the MSI configurator settings is already added to our wish list. We will implement it in our future updates.

In addition, when trying to update hosts the simple update feature simply does not work at all.

This is a known issue and this is not an issue specifically with the simple update. For some reason, Windows Restart Manager (which may act as part of the msi installation procedure) fails to restart Remote Utilities Host service after the update.

We decided to completely re-write the update process to make sure the updater takes complete control over the process instead of delegating it to Microsoft's msiexec and the system. So we implemented this change in the current version (6.10.5.0).  

This fix has one downside though - unfortunately, it will not work retrospectively. The new process will start to apply when updating Hosts version 6.10.5.0 (i.e. the current version) and later.

When using the remote install option and pointing the file to an update MSI, installs to remote (i.e. non LAN) locations always fail saying "unable to complete action" with no other explanation.

Could you please send us the description and screenshots of the update process (i.e. which checkboxes you choose, what connection mode and authorization method are used) using the Remote Install tool to support@remote-utilities.com.

Please let me know if you have more questions.

Hello Yunus,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please clarify if the 250 users are the techs or the endpoints and if they are remote users or you have access to remote machines?

Please note, that if you have a commercial license, it would be better to specify your support level.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello,

Honestly it makes the mobile app completely useless to me

We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Unfortunately, there is no specific ETA on the full-fledged address book for the mobile version yet.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Hello Michel,

Thank you for your message.

Please try enabling the Legacy keyboard input mode. To enable it please follow these steps:
1. In the main Viewer window right-click on the remote Host and choose Properties.
2. Navigate to the tab Remote Screen -> Mode.
3. Enable the checkbox Use legacy keyboard input mode:


Let us know if the problem persists.

Hello Andreas,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, there is no such feature yet. However, adding a separate "auditing" mode/functionality is in our plans. I cannot give you a specific ETA, unfortunately.

Please let me know if you have other questions.

Hello Alane,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please clarify if you install the Host using the vanilla Host installer ( host6.x.msi ) or your custom Host installer?

Also, could you please send us the installation log. The installation log can be found in this location: C:\ProgramData\Remote Utilities\install.log
You can send the log file to support@remote-utilities.com.

Looking forward to your reply.
