Hi, You have the following packages installed that I don't: Microsoft-Hyper-V-Common-Drivers-Package Microsoft-Hyper-V-Guest-Integration-Drivers-Package Microsoft-Windows-Printing-XPSServices-Package Microsoft-Windows-Client-EmbeddedExp-Package Microsoft-Windows-NetFx-VCRedist-Package...

Hi, Yes, on Windows 10 we've got '.NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)' installed (and, for that matter, on the remote Windows Server 2008 R2 we have '.NET Framework 3.5.1' installed). Is this the same issue...

Hi Muad'Dib, just to say, we're still getting the error with RemoteControl 1.9.1 from Windows 10 1511 -> Windows Server 2008 R2 only. I've checked and the remote Windows Server 2008 R2 computer already has the RemoteControl/RemoteControl/RemoteControlSrc records in place. Happy to run a debug...

I'm not sure why, but it feels like compatibility rather than firewall - happens on all Windows 10 -> Windows 7 / 2008 R2 connections regardless of firewall. Perhaps something to do with connecting to the Event Log via API? Hopefully you'll be able to replicate!

FROM Server 2008 R2 TO Windows 10 b1511 -> Works fine FROM Server 2008 R2 TO Server 2008 R2 -> Works fine FROM Windows 10 b1511 TO Windows 10 b1511 -> Works fine FROM Windows 10 b1511 TO Server 2008 R2 -> Error message, Title: 'EventLog Problem', Text: 'The EventLog could not be accessed on...

Thanks, will give this a try when back at work!

Hey Muad'Dib, great to have you back! I think the main problem people are experiencing is connecting from Windows 7 -> Windows 10 and possibly vice versa as well. If you get a chance to solve that, I think everyone will be very happy! Thanks so much.

Just in case anyone else wants it, here's RemoteControl 1.8.1. Please run a virus scanner against it as you should :) Dropbox - RemoteControl.zip Also to my homepage in case above link breaks: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/minkus/RemoteControl.zip Muad'Dib - if you want me to remove the links...

Nice one. The security setting you mentioned is the 'SoftwareSASGeneration' key mentioned under 'Information / How it Works' in Remote Control. Obviously it's not being set correctly on your computer. I've never tried this. I'll upload the latest version (1.8.1) at some point so that others can...

From memory: Run as Domain Administrator (or user with Administrator rights on both machines). Enable File and Printer Sharing and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) for relevant subnet in Windows Firewall Make sure Windows Management Instrumentation and Remote Registry services are...

Just to say after installing the latest cumulative update for Windows 10 Build 1511 this week, RemoteControl started working again! No longer getting 'The EventLog could not be accessed on xxx' error any more. Obviously this doesn't help libertytrek, but keep fiddling with settings, it can be...

Is anyone else getting 'The EventLog could not be accessed on xxx' when attempting to connect from a Windows 10 computer to Windows 7? Worked fine with same Group Policy settings from 7->7...?

The development of an incredibly useful remote control utility for Windows networks.

Thanks for the update - and all your hard work! Would it be possible to change the folder where the VNC viewer & conn.vnc are on the *local* computer from C:\RCTEMP to %AppData%\RemoteControl anyway? Even if you want to leave the UAC stuff as-is (and I agree with you that this is better), it...

This is probably something to do with the Office Clipboard - http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/word-help/copy-and-paste-multiple-items-by-using-the-office-clipboard-HA010163602.aspx Try switching it off as per the instructions. It breaks quite a few clipboard-related functions (and this is...

Full Control across the board - don't think this is the issue. I've done some investigation, and I think the reason that Remote Control has to be run under UAC is because it creates a folder under C:\RCTEMP on the *local* computer, which stores vncviewer.exe and conn.vnc while the program is...

Ditto. DFS share.

As I said, I'm not sure. On our domain, Remote Control won't connect to another computer unless it's run elevated - and I am running as a Domain Admin as well. I presumed this was because UAC doesn't just remove the 'Administrators' token, it also removes 'Domain Admins' and 'Enterprise Admins'...

Not sure. On our domain, Remote Control won't connect to another computer unless it's run elevated. I don't know why this is, but I always thought it was because UAC doesn't just remove the 'Administrators' token, it also removes 'Domain Admins' and 'Enterprise Admins' - hence in order to...

If this is the case, it means that your (standard) user token has Administrator rights over all of the computers in your network. You might as well disable UAC in this case - it's protecting your own computer, but not any of the other computers that you control...

Hi Muad'Dib, Is it possible to have the 'Recent Hosts' list sorted in 'most recent first' order (i.e. add new ones to the top, rather than the bottom)? Just makes it a bit easier to connect to the 'most frequently used hosts' first without scrolling...

Hi, have given it a try & it seems to work as described on my computer. Thanks for sorting this out - makes life much easier! :)

That's fair enough - but this would mean that you wouldn't need to right click - just double click and it will auto-run as Administrator (UAC will prompt if necessary). I think it's as simple as setting an option in the Visual Studio compiler...

Hi Muad'Dib, Speaking of UAC - is it possible for Remote Control to include an embedded manifest to force it to prompt for Admin credentials when run under UAC? I don't *think* it's hard to do - the following pages describe the process...

Hi, Possibly related to the VNC RemoveWallpaper setting?

Thanks for the new version! Installed here and seems to be working great (apart from the XP Disable Local Input option, which you mentioned before wouldn't work). Keep up the good work!

To clarify: What we would like is an option for the person running remote control; then anyone in front of the physical machine is unable to take control whilst we are connected. Many Thanks

Good Morning We use the software and find it really useful. What we would really like a prompt to disable remote inputs (keyboard and mouse) when connecting to a computer so that when we are logged in as Admin's the user has no control. Regards.

Yes, this is right - I thought this was what the release notes were referring to. If it's a limitation of TightVNC, then that's fair enough. I know what you mean about the internal connections, but good security demands defence-in-depth - i.e. enable encryption, even if you don't think your...

Hi, Just to say as well that in version 1.5 the release notes state 'Different location and a new key was needed to suppress an "Unencrypted connection" prompt' - but we still get this prompt on our computers in version 1.6. Is it possible to enable encryption?

Aaah... I've got it now. It was coming up with the mobile phone thing after selecting 'Regular Download', but there was a red X in the top right corner of the webpage to close it. Once I clicked this I got the countdown as you described. Thanks a lot!

Hi Muad'Dib, Are you able to post the later versions to another site? Have been trying to get this from depositfiles.com but it keeps asking me to subscribe with my mobile phone at a cost of £1.50. Very reluctant to do this - are there any other free download sites that could be used...

Release the source code? ;)

Looks good... thanks for your ongoing work!

Hi, Just a quick 'thank you' to Muad'Dib for making this software - it's really great to have an improved version of GenControl - and to repeat the requests from others that you might put it up on a 'proper' website and perhaps make the source code available. It's quite hard to find it at the...
