Remote-Control on Anything About IT

Intel KVM Remote Control and VNC Viewer Plus

Back in December 2009 I posted Remote Management of AMT/vPro machine with WinPE and VNC which explained how to use VNC running in WinPE to remotely manage a vPro enabled device. For those that did try this themselves will have noticed that the process isn’t as comfortable as we would like it to be for day to day use.

But with the Introduction of Intel’s AMT version 6.0 which includes KVM Remote Control and VNC Viewer Plus the scenario of managing a remote device in any state without installing any software on them isn’t wishful thinking anymore, it’s there.

Back in December 2009 I wrote an article about Remote Management of AMT/vPro machine with WinPE and VNC the reason for using VNC is because until AMT 5.0 only text based console redirection is supported, hence AMT 5.0 does only support text based operating systems, so if we wanted to remotely manage a PC to fix a problem we ended up using DOS or Linux based recovery media or a solution as described in the above mentioned article.

For those of you who do have vPro capable machines in their environment, but never had the chance to take a closer look at the AMT features, this blog post might be of interest.

For most people I assume the biggest hurdle to start using the AMT technology is that you need a System Management Infrastructure setup that provides AMT support like Microsoft SCCM, Altiris Client Management Suite, Intel Landesk or the HP System Configuration Management Suite. If you really plan to use the AMT technology , this of course is a prerequisite, but if you just want to explore the basic functionality of AMT there is an easier path.

Remote Control your Mobile Phone

The task for this Saturday was to remote control my mobile phone. After a short search on the web I found MyMobileR

The first good ting about this application is that it is FREE ! Second it’s easy to install, within seconds i could remotely manage my mobile phone.

Using this application allowed me to perform an e-mail account configuration in just a minute, because you can use your PC keyboard to enter data, and that is a bit more convenient than typing on a mobile phone.
