Remote Administration

Navigation: Working with EventSentry > Managing Agents >

It is not recommended that you manage a remote installation by connecting to it, instead we recommend that you manage all remote agents with Remote Update. If possible, only use the "Connect To" feature to review the active configuration on a remote host, not to manage it.

You can remotely administer any EventSentry installation just like a local one. The only setting that cannot be remotely administered is the Remote Update itself.

Criteria:

•	You have permission to access the registry of the remote computer (on Win2k and higher please make sure that the remote registry service is running)

•	You have read/write permissions to the registry key HKLM\Software\netikus.net\EventSentry

•	The default administrative share ADMIN$ exists on the remote computer (only necessary for remote service installation)

Instructions:

Option 1: Right-Click the local computer object and select "Connect to another computer" ... You can also connect to a remote computer by selecting "Connect" from the "File" menu.

Remote Update features will not be available while you are connected to a remote machine. You will need to be connected to the local machine in order to perform a Remote Update.
