Hello Michael,

Thank you for your message.

Our development department have confirmed that all Remote Utilities modules are safe and are not affected by the Log4j vulnerability since Remote Utilities does not use the affected library.
We will try submitting a new reputation ticket to Talos once again, so that they can correct the IP address's reputation. You can additionally submit a ticket here as well as we believe that this might speed up the process.

Alternatively, you can also set up and use RU Server which allows using Remote Utilities without connecting to our public servers. For more information please see this page.

Hope that helps.

I therefore, request you again to please call me and help me completing the process asap.

Hello Farhan,

Thank you for your message.

Please make sure that your Viewer for Mac is updated to the latest version 1.0.11.q Beta 11. If your Viewer is up to date, then you can register it with a free license key which you can generate using this form. After obtaining the license key, register your Viewer for Mac following this tutorial.

Hope that helps.

Hello,

Thank you for the clarification.

Could you please try updating your Host to the latest version 7.1.2.0 and see if this helps to resolve the issue, since in this case it is most certainly caused by a version mismatch and/or an outdated Host. You can update your Host remotely via the Simple Update feature.

Hope that helps.

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, we couldn't reproduce the issue. Could you please let us know what version of Remote Utilities you're using and also what are the OSs running on the Host and Viewer machines?

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Guy,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please let us know what version of Remote Utilities is installed on your Host and Viewer machines running on Windows? If these Host and Viewers are not updated to the latest version 7.1.2.0 then the version mismatch is what might be causing the issue. In this case, please try updating your installation to the latest version as described here or by downloading the installers of the latest version on this page and running them manually.
In addition, please see if any of the solutions listed on this troubleshooting KB page helps to resolve the issue.

Please let us know if the issue persists.

Hello Jane,

Thank you for your message.

I'm glad to hear you've figured out the issue and it works for you now! The issue had occurred because your remote Host wasn't updated to version 7 and we've discontinued the Internet-ID feature in version 6 for free license and trial period users starting February 1, 2022. For more information please also see this page.

Still can't ping id.remoteutilities.com though - don't know if I need to be able to do that?

Yes, we've temporarily disabled the ping. However, all servers are up and operate normally. You can also check the servers availability on this page.

Hope that helps.

Hello Jeff,

Thank you for your message.

You mean that you'd like to have the same authentication code in the 2FA app for a group of Hosts, correct? If this is the case, then it's already possible. Here's how you can do it:
1. Generate a custom Host installation package via the MSI Configurator Tool.
2. At the last step - Step 4: Settings update select the Pre-configure radio-button and enable the Security settings checkbox.
3. In the opened Host Settings navigate to the Security tab -> 2-step verification tab.
4. Enable and set up the 2FA feature, set up any other preferred settings for your Host and save the output installation file.
5. All Host installed via this specific installation package will have the same 2FA codes, i.e. it will be the same OTP in your 2FA app for these few Hosts. This way you can avoid having too many individual codes for each Host installation. Just build a few custom installation packages according to how you'd group the Hosts and your 2FA authentication codes will be grouped accordingly as well.

Hope that helps.

Hello Jane,

Thank you for your message.

Our servers are up and running and there were no recent downtimes. Could you please let us know what version of Remote Utilities are you using on both Host and Viewer machines?

Looking forward to your reply.
