Agreed.
It's easier to just open the NetBIOS/CIFS ports up on the firewall and connect directly. -sc From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, April 27, 2010 2:47 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: what is Best Practices to mange many small company you consultant?

As a outside integrator / IT consultant Interesting, from reading it I don't "get" that it lets a consultant view resources from multiple clients on one console, I read it as more of a "per client" management tool, but I guess it can be interpreted a couple of ways.

As a outside integrator / IT consultant Yeah, LogMeIn - I can access all of my various clients systems from that one console. To be clear I have one or two systems from each client that has LogMeIn on it, from that system I can RDP, remote wake up, etc the other systems. Actually that's an excellent question - Quicken logs into multiple banks but gives me one common console to get various statuses, is there a similar tool available to consultants? Michael what sort of commercial tools are you talking about?
