Remote Background Management

There are some remote support and system administration tasks that do not need a full remote desktop connection when connecting to a Windows or Mac computer. For these scenarios, Remote Background Management provides a fast and flexible alternative. Access an emulated command line, control processes and services, perform registry actions and transfer files. Identify and resolve issues on a computer without disturbing the user and before they even know a problem exists.

When combined with proactive monitoring this provides a seamless and powerful maintenance experience.

Simply enable Remote Background Management for the target Windows and Mac computers. Then launch the Remote Background Management session directly from the Dashboard.
