Publisher's Description:
From EMCO Software
An integrated software power management solution for networks. It allows you to centrally manage network PCs and make remote shutdown, Wake-on-LAN, reboot, power off, hibernate and other operations. You can easily manage any single PCs or groups of PCs with just a few mouse clicks. Remote operations can be executed on demand or automatically according with defined schedule, so you can organize fully automatic power management for your organization.
Operations with Remote PCs
Shutdown
Execute system shutdown of one or multiple PCs in the local network. Configurable options include: execution timeout, notification with a custom message, ability to cancel operation on the remote side and force running application to close.
Wake-on-LAN
Wake up one or multiple PCs in the local network by sending them a magic packet. In order to wake up remote PCs should support Wake-on-LAN feature and have it enabled.
Reboot
Make a reboot on one or multiple PCs in the local network. Configurable options include: execution timeout, notification with a custom message, ability to cancel operation on the remote side and force running application to close.
Log Off
Force log off of active users working on one or multiple PCs in the local network. Configurable options include: execution timeout, notification with a custom message, ability to cancel operation on the remote side and force running application to close.
Hibernate
Run hibernation one or multiple PCs in the local network. Configurable options include: execution timeout, notification with a custom message, ability to cancel operation on the remote side.
Sleep
Switch one or multiple PCs in the local network to a sleep mode. Configurable options include: execution timeout, notification with a custom message, ability to cancel operation on the remote side.
Lock/Unlock Devices
Lock and unlock input devices (keyboard and mouse) on one or multiple PCs in the local network. Configurable options include: execution timeout, notification with a custom message, ability to cancel operation on the remote side.
Abort
Terminate execution of any launched remote operation on one or multiple PCs in the local network. Remote operations can be terminated during a timeout period when execution was started, but not finished yet.
Configuration and Execution of Remote Operations
Simple Task Definition
A new task should be created in order to configure operation with remote PCs. Task definition includes information about operation type, execution options, list of remote PCs where it should be executed and start configuration, including date, time and optional recurrence conditions. All these settings can be configured within few seconds using simple visual wizard.
Database Switching
All information about configured tasks and their execution results is stored in the database. Application allows creating multiple databases and easily switching between them to change an active configuration.
Automatic Tasks Execution
Application tracks all configured tasks and execute them automatically when their start conditions are satisfied. If at once start conditions of multiple tasks are satisfied, they will be launched in parallel.
Simultaneous Management of Multiple PCs
If task is configured to manage multiple PCs, remote operations on remote PCs will be executed in parallel when task will be started. It guarantees a lowest time, required to complete the operation.
Task Manager
Execution progress of running tasks can be tracked on a special Task Manager view. It provides an ability to see progress for every PC and cancel execution on a particular PC or all PCs at once.
Operating in System Tray
Application can be minimized into the System Tray to operate in background and run scheduled tasks. Adding it to Windows autostart settings allows running it automatically after the system restart.
Logging and Reporting
Task Execution Results
Detailed execution report is available for every completed task. It includes execution date, time and status for every PC and detailed troubleshooting information in case of error.
Application Log
Information about all executed operation is available in the application log. For failed operations it provides troubleshooting information. To simplify navigation, messages in the log can be filtered depending on their types (error, warning and information) and appearance time. Also log can be automatically cleaned to remove old messages.
Tasks Scheduling
Visual Scheduler
All tasks are tracked and managed using a simple visual interface, similar to MS Outlook calendar. It displays past and future tasks on the timeline. Timeline can be switched to different display modes, scrolled and zoomed to simplify navigation. Tasks can be easily managed directly on the timeline to change their start date/time and other settings.
Run Task on Date/Time
Tasks can be scheduled to run once on the specified date and time.
Run Task Daily
Tasks can be scheduled for recurrent run every day or on specified days. Options include execution time, recurrence range start and end conditions.
Run Task Weekly
Tasks can be scheduled for recurrent run every week or according with weekly conditions, on specified days of week. Options include execution time, recurrence range start and end conditions.
Run Task Monthly
Tasks can be scheduled for recurrent run every specified day of month. Options include execution time, recurrence range start and end conditions.
Run Task Yearly
Tasks can be scheduled for recurrent run every specified day of year. Options include execution time, recurrence range start and end conditions.
Network Environment
Operating in Domain and Workgroup
Application can work in domain and workgroup network environment and is able to manage PCs located in domains and workgroups.
Integration with Active Directory
If target network is a domain-based, the application extracts information about network environment directly from the Active Directory. This information includes domains structure and hierarchy, so application displays network structure hierarchically, with organization units.
Custom Network Grouping
Alternative grouping of network PCs allows to create and manage own groups of computers. It simplifies configuration of remote tasks, because allows to create required groups once and then use them in tasks configuration to fill a list of target PCs.
Support of Complex Network Environments
To manage PCs remotely in a complex network environment application should have an administrative access to remote PCs. Application allows to configure different credentials to access different domains, workgroups and PCs.
Requirements:
1 GHz Intel Pentium processor or equivalent, 512MB of RAM, 250MB of free disk space.
