Native Java based client
I would like to not have to download a jnlp file every time I remote into a session. It is really annoying having to clean out my downloads everyday. Linux does not offer another option.
Create Meetings in Advance
Schedule meetings in advance. So session becomes accessible only after the date/time is set.
run screen sonncet as a system service pre remote session
We are currently using LogMeIn as our primary tool to assist remotely.
Currently we have minimal user intervention needed to elevate our remote session as a system service. Before we actually connect to the user's PC we are prompted for the admin credentials to run LogMeIn as a system service.
This is important because it requires the least amount of user intervention. We are an MSP that operate over multiple environments and platforms. So each computer could have unique settings applies. Most of our customer base is not an administrator by default.
Currently we are having unpredictable results using screen connect. Sometimes to elevate the session the password box does not appear to elevate. Sometimes there is a UAC window that pops up and the client may need to acknowledge to move forward. Currently we do not experience any of these issues using LogMeIn. It would be nice if we can automatically put in the local or domain admin credentials setting up the remote session and the ability to run as a system service. This would give the engineer much more predictable results with less user intervention.
Expand printer redirection support to better utilize native print drivers
Partner is attempting to print to a Canon printer mapped through Control that has 4 trays. The printer maps over and prints successfully, but will only print to the default tray. He is looking to see if we can expand support of the remote printing functionality to better handle situations like these and better utilize the functionality of the native printer drivers.

Apply Windows keys "On this computer", "On remote computer", or "Only in full screen", like Microsoft RDP.
("Windows keys" includes Alt+Tab, any combination of the Windows key and another key, PrintScreen, and more. See Microsoft KB for details.)
Currently, any time we want to send a Windows key to our local computer, we have to:
1. Grab the mouse.
2. Find something innocuous to click on.
3. Click on it.
4. Put hands back on the keyboard.
5. Press Windows key.
(This solution was suggested by Support.)
Very time consuming. Most of the time I don't want the Windows key sent to the remote computer, so it happens a lot.
Using the PrintScreen key to print the remote screen is *
very* tricky.
Unattended computer should have an option to "end the session". also "overpower host mouse" if desired.
Adding a feature that will allow the unattended computer to "end the session" along with the host having total control would give the unattended computer customer a feeling of control. Without it all they can do is wait until the host is out, then uninstall the program.
The unattended should have some control over their computer, "end session" and "overpower host mouse" would be two that make sense.
Hey All,
So, just wanted to pass along that the guest's mouse movements will always have precedence over the host's. Guests can also regain their mouse and keyboard control by pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL.
We will tackle allowing the guest to kick a host / lock connections down to time periods through the requests here,
Thanks for your feedback!

Ability to filter machines based on users connected to RDP sessions
It would be quite helpful if we could filter and search in ScreenConnect based on usernames also connected to RDP sessions. For example on a Terminal server if user1 is connected and I search for user1 the search would populate the terminal server user1 is currently connected to. The only way to see that user1 is connected now is to start a remote support session on each server and check the view menu to see all sessions connected.
Display is machine was shutdown/slept/hibernated vs. just simply offline
When a normal shutdown/reboot or sleep/hibernation is initiated it would be nice if SC would show that instead of simply showing the machine as offline -- something like Hibernated 25m ago, or Shutdown 25min ago.
Hello,
After consideration we've determined your request isn't feasible. There isn't a way to identify what specific action (i.e. reboot, sleep, etc.) put the system in an offline state.
Lock on session end based on OS
I like the auto disconnect feature for server OSes, but find it very annoying when ConnectWise support is helping me that it locks my desktop. Therefore, I have the feature disabled on our Control server. Can you implement a feature that would only auto lock a server OS? Perhaps create a session group dynamically by looking for the word "server" in the OS name/version and then have a separate policy for servers.
