Speed

Engagent Remote Administration is the fastest remote control system on the market. Engagent Remote Administration outperforms every other remote control system, including PC Anywhere, Timbuktu, LapLink,  etc.

Functionality

• Operating systems support: Windows 95, 98, ME, Windows NT 4.0,  Windows 2000
• Engagent Remote Administration server can work as a service under all supported operating systems, which allows you to logon and logoff a user remotely.
• Supports multiple connections on both server and client sides.
• Supports the controlling of multiple remote computers and the viewing of multiple sessions on one screen.
• View modes include Full-Screen, Scaled and Windowed. Full-Screen mode lets you see the remote screen on the entire screen of your display.
  Scaled mode lets you see the scaled remote screen in a window with a user defined size.
• Engagent Remote Administration uses a video hook kernel mode driver under Windows NT 4.0 to improve performance. This lets you work on a remote computer with an incredible 'real-time' update speed (hundreds of screen updates per second). The Win2000/XP compatible version of the driver will be included in the coming version of Engagent Remote Administration.
• Transfers files to or from a remote computer. With Engagent Remote Administration you can easily drag and drop files via Explorer-like interface.
• Lets you remotely shutdown a computer without having to connect in remote screen mode.
• Engagent Remote Administration server provides Telnet access to remote computers when its server runs on Windows NT.
• Has multilanguage support using one file per language so it is not necessary to download and re-install Engagent Remote Administration for each language.
• Supports Windows NT security so you can give the right to remotely control, remotely view, telnet and/or transfer files to specific users or user groups. If the user is logged to a WinNT domain, Engagent Remote Administration Viewer uses his or her current username/password to authenticate.
• Engagent Remote Administration uses a challenge-response password authentication method, based on 128 bit strong encryption—if Windows NT security support is switched off—to allow access to a remote computer.
• 128 bit strong encryption is used to encrypt all data streams and and it's optimized with a performance loss of only 5%.
• Uses an IP filter so access to Engagent Remote Administration server is restricted to specified IP addresses and subnets.
• Engagent Remote Administration supports High Resolution modes of up to 2048 X 2048 X 32bit color.

Other Features

• Clipboard transfers
• Remote shutdown
• 16 color (4 bits per pixel) network transfer mode
• /stop command kills all running Engagent Remote Administration servers on the computer
• Optional 'Incoming connection' dialog box on server side
• Optional Tray icon on server side with computer IP address tip and current connection list. Tray icon changes its state when an active connection persists and a notification beeps when a user connects to the server.
• Close connection dialog in viewer
• Some useful registry settings for system administrators - disables some unnecessary server functions (telnet, file transfer, control, the possibility of changing server settings by a user, etc.)
• Can send Ctrl-Alt-Del to a remote computer
• Reduced network usage in minimized mode of the viewer's remote screen window.

• Automatic disconnection of frozen remote screen connections

Engagent Remote Administration Security

A lot of attention was paid to security questions in the Engagent Remote Administration design. Here are some reasons Engagent Remote Administration operations are completely secure:

• Engagent Remote Administration supports Windows NT/2000 user level security. You can give the right of remote control to a specific user or user group.

• If Windows NT security support is switched off, access to a remote computer is controlled by password. Remote Administrator uses a challenge-response password authentication method similar to that used in Windows NT, but with more powerful security keys.

• Remote Administrator works in encrypted mode where all data, screen images, mouse movement and keys are encrypted using 128 bit strong encryption with randomly generated keys.

• Engagent Remote Administration server has a logging feature where all actions are written to the log file.

• Engagent Remote Administration server has an IP filter table so access can be restricted to specified IP addresses and networks.

• Engagent Remote Administration has a self-testing code defense that protects its code from being altered.

• All algorithms used in Engagent Remote Administration are industry standard: TWOFISH, MD5.
