Logmein Rescue was great but pretty spendy. RAdmin works well, not so spendy. David

Had a developer suggest going to Logmein Rescue, which I don't have a problem with, but was wondering how it compared to RAdmin, which I have used before. Thanks, Joe Heaton ________________________________ From: Roger Wright [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 28, 2008 8:50 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: OS Remote control app without open ports Does it have to be "at will" or can a remote-user-initiated connection work? If the latter, then perhaps CrossLoop would fit the bill. Free and no port issues. Also, take a look at TeamViewer. And Famatech's Radmin Remote Administrator is a very cost-effective solution you should consider.

I was hoping to invest in something we can manage here.

As long as a machine has an HTTP/HTTPS outbound connection to the GoToMyPC server you can use this with no user intervention.

Though I'm after something that we can apply to hundreds of machines and not require the end user to do anything, Crossloop would fit in as a replacement for our Copilot account. ta -----Original Message----- From: Shawn Everett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 28 April 2008 05:50 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: OS Remote control app without open ports I'm surprised no one has mentioned Crossloop yet. It's my favorite program for remote support.

I want to push something out to a ton of laptops and servers. The servers would be a management nightmare updating all the firewalls and the laptops will be moving around and therefore we wont have direct access to the firewalls to be able to set port redirection.
