What does this mean?, you say. It means you’ve got one neat console where you can manage all your remote connections in one place. mRemote currently supports these protocols:

• RDP (Remote Desktop)
• VNC (Virtual Network Computing)
• ICA (Independent Computing Architecture)
• SSH (Secure Shell)
• Telnet (TELecommunication NETwork)
• HTTP/S (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)
• Rlogin (Rlogin)
• RAW

I haven’t set it up fully yet, but it will be really handy to have all my web-based admin areas and SSH to Linux boxes in there too.

A side note, it uses the same rendering engine as Firefox, so some web-based admin pages may not display properly. This, however is no fault of mRemote or Firefox’s.

I had a brain wave a few months back, where I remembered something from my MCSA training (so it wasn’t useless after all).

It’s a pain when you open services.msc, and the first thing you always need to do is change to standard view.

The steps are as follows:

• Expand ‘Administrative Tools’ in the Start menu.
• Right-click on Services, and select ‘Author’

• In the Services console, change to standard view, and then save the console.

I’d seen the files on SourceForge before, but never had any use for them until today – when I had to boot a machine into BartPE and use ClamAV.

These will be moving into a permanent home on my new 4GB flashdrive when it arrives.
