Warn before disconnecting a session where a file transfer is still in progress

Erik van Putten 8 years ago updated by swhite (Product Manager) 1 year ago 1

When you have a large file transfer going on, it sometimes happens you close the normal session also closing the file transfer session inadvertently.

It would be nice if you a least got a warning that a file transfer is still going on and if you are sure you want to end the main session closing the file transfer as well....

Sometimes this means restarting a hour lasting file transfer again for us.....

Build Installer with blank computer name

Trevor Watson 8 years ago updated by swhite (Product Manager) 1 year ago 1

It would be most helpful if when configuring the build installer and the option for Name:> Use Specific Value: is selected and the name was left blank or something like a question mark was inserted, it would then prompt the person running the install to manually type in the name on the fly. For our operation, this would be so very helpful as many of our computers have the same computer name but are located in different enterprises.

2 factor authentication via e-mail

Trevor Watson 8 years ago updated 8 years ago 2

We use 2 factor authentication via e-mail quite extensively. For use with copy paste, it would be much appreciated if the number was on the far right rather than (EOM). Example: Your one-time password is: (EOM) 771644 This way the mouse drag across the 6 digit number would be much easier.

Answer

Hey Trevor,

You can move the key to the end of the subject line by editing this appearance web resource: EmailAuthenticationProviderSubjectFormat

Switch the {0} and (EOM) around.

Shutdown Unattended Machines

DaMtechMatt 8 years ago updated by anonymous 7 years ago 3

Can we have a way to shutdown unattended workstations without the need to connect to the workstation first?


Having to do 200 machines, one at a time is a bit of a pain.

Answer
David T 7 years ago

...as a workaround you can send the command: shutdown /s /f

using the Commands section. Use the Command Toolbox to remember the command for reuse


Check out other useful things you can do here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1l8fTJBo1Om4G5o7hNYCLNS0kqQoKfysv5CzAaMG11HQ/edit


Add useful commands yourself if you have some not listed :)

Deploy from command line.

Daniel Best 8 years ago updated by anonymous 8 years ago 1

I would like to have the ability to silently deploy a screen connect installer package from command line on computers we manage.

Answer
anonymous 8 years ago

Hey Daniel,

Check out the Client Network Deployer Extension here:

http://forum.screenconnect.com/yaf_postst10183_Extension--Client-Network-Deployer--ScreenConnect-6-0-required.aspx

This should help you out. You could also use PSExec in the cmd to push out the MSI.

Increment Access Client version when changed

DaMtechMatt 8 years ago updated by swhite (Product Manager) 1 year ago 1

When we make a change to either the Apperance settings or the App.config I understand that we need to get the clients to re-install to pick up those changes.

However, its not obvious which clients have been re-installed.

Is it possible to have the client version increment slightly when these changes are made, so the older ones are obvious, just like when a new server version comes out?

Toolbox takes a long time to load if you run tool on multiple connections

mhighsmith 8 years ago updated by swhite (Product Manager) 2 years ago 9

if you run a tool on 50+ connections it will take several minutes if you connect to a system for the toolbox to load. It can even be a simple renaming of a file and this behavior happens. using version 6.1, This issue was not happening on 6.0.
