Can DameWare MRC toolbar be hidden to / revealed from a screen area?

$
0
0

I know the "floating" DameWare MRC control toolbar which exists once you're connected to a remote host can be moved around or dismissed with the X, however I do not always remember how to get it back.

 

Is there a setting such that it can auto-hide to an edge or corner of the controlling machine's screen until the mouse goes to that edge or corner, similar to the way the Windoze taskbar or OSX dock can hide until the mouse goes to the edge of the taskbar's or dock's edge of the screen where the taskbar/dock  then reveals itself?

If it doesn't exist, make it exist!


Win 8.1 and Dameware v9 Installation problems

$
0
0

All,

 

I did a fresh install of Windows 8.1 and tried to install DW9. The installation goes all the way through until it seems to start modifying registry keys. It throws an error that "There is a problem with the Windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run."

 

I've installed every vc++ redistributable known 2005,2008,2010,2012, and I've installed .net 2, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0 - 3 - 4.5 is installed via Programs and Features. I've also installed various versions of DirectX just to see if it had something to do with that and no-go. I've got full admin rights on this box, and another person that I work with is having the same problem. The users that upgraded from Windows 8.0 to 8.1 are not having an issue, so it looks like Windows 8.0 may have something that 8.1 doesn't have? What in the world is it??

 

I believe we have 32-bit, but I'm not sure if there's a separate 64-bit version. The 32-bit has installed on every 64-bit OS in the office except this one.

 

Any ideas for me to look at? Error logs don't show me anything. It doesn't even show the application that it's 'required' to run and cannot find/launch:

Dameware 10 Mini Remote Control Tool - Admin Cert on CAC

$
0
0

Hello,

 

I am setting up Dameware 10 Remote Control Tool on a few systems and am having an issue getting connected to remote systems using my CAC.  We have both admin and regular certs on the CAC but will be using the admin cert to do the remote control assistance.

 

Ill give you a rundown of what I am doing:

 

Right click DameWare Mini Remote Control > Run as (choose my admin Cert from CAC)

Fill in all information needed (Select Smart Card logon and fill in PIN)

Click connect and get error, after a few moments of waiting

Error:

DameWare Mini Remote Control

Smart Card Logon Failed (5.2).

System Error: 1326

System Message: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

 

After inspecting the security logs on the client system I see that the error is because its attempting to use my regular user account, not my admin account. Even tho we are running the MRC tool using admin cert credentials.

 

Security Logs on client system shows the attempted connection and failure:

 

An account failed to log on.

Subject:

  Security ID: SYSTEM

  Account Name: %COMPUTERNAME%$

  Account Domain: %DOMAIN%

  Logon ID: 0x3e7

 

Logon Type: 3

 

Account For Which Logon Failed:

  Security ID: NULL SID

  Account Name: %REMOVEDINFO%

  Account Domain:

 

Failure Information:

  Failure Reason: Unknown user name or bad password.

  Status: 0xc000006d

  Sub Status: 0xc0000064

 

Process Information:

  Caller Process ID: 0x380

  Caller Process Name: C:\Windows\dwrcs\DWRCS.exe

 

Network Information:

  Workstation Name: %Computername%

  Source Network Address: -

  Source Port: -

 

 

Detailed Authentication Information:

  Logon Process: DWMRC3

  Authentication Package: Kerberos

  Transited Services: -

  Package Name (NTLM only): -

  Key Length: 0

 

This event is generated when a logon request fails. It is generated on the computer where access was attempted.

The Subject fields indicate the account on the local system which requested the logon. This is most commonly a service such as the Server service, or a local process such as Winlogon.exe or Services.exe.

The Logon Type field indicates the kind of logon that was requested. The most common types are 2 (interactive) and 3 (network).

The Process Information fields indicate which account and process on the system requested the logon.

The Network Information fields indicate where a remote logon request originated. Workstation name is not always available and may be left blank in some cases.

The authentication information fields provide detailed information about this specific logon request.

  - Transited services indicate which intermediate services have participated in this logon request.

  - Package name indicates which sub-protocol was used among the NTLM protocols.

  - Key length indicates the length of the generated session key. This will be 0 if no session key was requested.

 

I am a local admin on remote system and can confirm this with username and password, so we know the authentication is there.  For some reason it keeps defaulting back to the regular user cert.

 

Any thoughts on it?

Warning Message Before Remote Connection

$
0
0

Is it possible to have a warning to the end user before making a remote connection with Dameware MRC?  I just started using this and some users are a bit weirded out that I can just jump in and start controlling their screen without any sort of warning message.  The only indicator is the small icon on the windows taskbar, but most users have the taskbar hidden so from their perspective they don't know when I connect or disconnect.

 

The best scenario would be an option where they could either accept or deny the remote connection, but I don't know if that is available with MRC.

Doing silent install of MRC 11.2 does not input license information

$
0
0

Hi.  I'm trying to do a silent install of MRC version 11.2.  The install is succeeding, but it is not passing along the license information.  Whenever I open MRC it pops up asking me to license it.  I am using code I found on this website, inputing my own information but using the same syntax:

 

fileName.exe /args "/qn APPDIR=\"C:\Program Files\DameWare programName\" reboot=reallysuppress SILENT=yes INSTALLSTANDALONE=1 SA_KEY=licenseKey SA_EMAIL=emailAddress SA_FIRST_NAME=firstName SA_LAST_NAME=lastName /L*V %temp%\Install.log"

 

Everything looks good, but I can't figure out why it won't take the license key.  Any help would be appreciated thanks!

MRC v11: Unable to log in to console, Internal server error.

I'm unable to launch my DMRC console, I can't get past the login. I get an "Internal server error." message. However, I'm able to get into the Dameware Server Administration Console without a hitch.

 

I've restarted the Dameware Server service and the whole server and it changed nothing, except the first time I tried to log in I got "SOAP parsing error occured. It might be due to incompatible versions of the Server and Console." as the error message and Internal server error afterwards.

 

Here's the service log entry that appears on each unsuccessful login (server host is in french, so some messages are translated):

My Dameware MiniRemote 11.1 is not installing

$
0
0

When I run the DameWareMRC32-St-v11.1.exe or DameWareMRC64-St-v11.1.exe,  It appears to "unpack the binaries" then just quits.

 

I had it installed and working before the holidays.When I returned I ran a PC cleaner. Afterwards, Dameware claimed that the licence had expired. I uninstalled the software at the request of IT and attempted to re-install with the results above. Any Ideas??

 

The PC cleaner may or may not have had any influence in the situation. I did not run DWMRCS before the cleaner. So, I don't know if it worked directly before. I mention it only to provide a clear picture of the situation.

Hello everybody,

First of all, sorry if i don't post on the right place.

I try the demo of  "Dameware mini remote control" for my company and now i will buy it.

I have a question, is it possible to send Pop-Up message to all users of my LAN? For example : "Hello everybody, please close our application and wait 15 minutes".

I don't want to chat or send mail but send a LAN Message. Before it was "net send" on command dos but now it's impossible.

Thank you

 

PS : Sorry for my english, i'm belgian

I'm getting this error when trying to dial into one specific site. All the computers at this site give me the same error. I can succesfully log into all of our other sites using Dameware with Windows NT challenge response. I have confirmed that there are other users who are having this problem as well, however strangely some users can still access this site with Dameware and Windows NT challenge response no problem. I found a post on your old forums recommending adding a few lines of code into the INI file, but that must have been for an older version of Dameware that still used one, I think it all goes into the registry now. Has anyone had this issue before? If you need any more info please let me know.

 

Any help is appreciated!

CTRL-ALT-DELETE doesn't work when I'm attached to a client's machine

$

When I'm using Dameware V10 to remote into a client's machine, it always starts with the following message "Configuring the remote system for first time use. This may take as much as two minutes. Please wait..."  It allows me to get to the client's machine but then the CTRL-ALT-DELETE function doesn't work and I can't log in. I've also tried to use the Send "CTRL+ALT+DELETE" option.  I've installed and re-installed the Dameware Software at least 3 times but it still has the same issue. What would be causing this problem? Thanks.

Pushing settings out as easy as importing registry keys?

$
0
0

We just rolled out Dameware 11 (we were on 9 before).  This is standalone, not the centralized server model yet.  I noticed even though I used the MSI builder and configured the settings, they didn't seem to apply to everyone.  For example we have just started testing removing "Domain Admins" from our IT support people and in order to still be able to use Dameware we had to push out settings for only allow these specific groups to connect to not only DOMAIN\Domain Admins, but also DOMAIN\Information Technology.  At least one person's dameware was asking them for permission and even when granted we couldn't take control (view only).  A few others we could not connect at all with our windows credentials unless I ran MMC as a domain admin, managed that particular computer and put Information Technology in as a local admin.

 

So I did some digging with Regshot and found all the settings seem to be saved at HKLM\Software\DameWare Development\Mini Remote Control Service.  So I got all the settings how I want them, tested them and then exported this branch in regedit.  I imported it into Dell Desktop Authority so these registry keys are imported to the PC if the dwmrc.exe file version is equal to 11.0 or greater.  So far it seems to work.  Are there any caveats to doing this?  Again it seems to be working fine but I wanted to post it out there just as an FYI.

Dameware MRC hangs white screen - Akamaiedge.net

Hi,

 

We are using Dameware MRC 9.0.1. It hangs when trying to load the program for 10 - 15 seconds. I've ran a process monitor and it's hanging on an connection to 2.22.139.27.

 

I've also ran a network monitor trace and MRC is trying to open a connection to akamaiedge.net on port 80.

 

We sit behind a proxy and firewall, so the direct connection can't be made.

 

Anyway of disabling this?

 

Many thanks

Rich

How can i update the activation key in an existing version of MRC v10 Console ?

$

0

In our company we have an annual 50 user license for Dameware MRC v10. Our existing license expired and we have purchased a renewal.

 

Unfortunately we can't find a way through the GUI or command-line to add the new license/activation code into an existing installation.

 

I have looked though the user guide, forums etc. but there's no info about how to do this. Does anyone know a way to do this please ?.

 

At present our workaround is to uninstall and then reinstall this product using the new licence code as part of the MSI install commandline.

 

Thanks Makes
