Latest Version of PROXY Pro 6 Remote Desktop Software Adds Remote Management Tools

Posted on: Thursday, 28 May 2009, 12:18 CDT

New Tools Support Inventory Reporting and System Configuration Management of Remote PCs through Secure, Authorized Connections

BOSTON, May 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Proxy Networks, Inc., a leader in providing innovative remote desktop software for more than 15 years, announced today the general availability of PROXY Pro 6.10, the latest version of its remote desktop software solution. The new version includes remote management software tools to view and repair configuration settings on remote PCs in real-time, and without disturbing the currently logged-on user.

Key new features of PROXY Pro 6.10 include:

• Ability to generate inventory of hardware and software assets on a remote computer
• Ability to view system settings on a remote computer
• Ability to view and modify registry settings on a remote computer
• Ability to view services on a remote computer and start/stop/restart them remotely
• Ability to view processes on a remote computer and stop them remotely
• Ability to view user, group and system accounts on a remote computer
• Ability to restart/reboot/shutdown a remote computer

Seamless and Secure Remote Management Software

PROXY Pro 6.10 ensures that remote management queries and commands are safe and secure by carrying them over the encrypted, authorized Proxy connections that link helpdesk technician computers and remote PCs. Unlike similar tools, such as those built into the Microsoft Windows operating system, PROXY Pro 6.10 Remote Management software does not require the RPC protocol or file sharing to be enabled, which are most often turned off in corporate environments for security purposes. In addition, technicians can use the remote management tools to make configuration changes on remote computers without interrupting the current user session or requiring the user to log-off.

"The new remote management software tools in PROXY Pro 6.10 are very convenient to use," said Michael Smith, Network Analyst at Dow Lohnes PLLC.

"It is very useful to be able to make repairs on-the-spot, without having to make any security exceptions or asking the user to log-off," added Eric Hirst, Senior Desktop Engineer at Dow Lohnes PLLC.

"The new remote management software tools in PROXY Pro 6.10 allow helpdesk technicians to take action and close more support tickets faster," said Andy Kim, CEO of Proxy Networks. "These tools represent our latest effort to make helpdesk technicians even more productive and efficient as corporate IT budgets get trimmed."
