Don't be fooled by the name "Mini"! The DameWare Mini Remote Control (DMRC) program is loaded with numerous features to help IT professionals get the most out of remote control connectivity.

Unlike other Remote Control programs, the installation of the Mini Remote Control Client Agent does not replace any existing Operating System files, which also eliminates the need for a reboot of the remote machine when connecting. By simply using Microsoft Windows API calls to interact with the local and remote machines, the Mini Remote Control is considered to be the most lightweight and independent remote control application on the market. Hence the term "Mini."

The Mini Remote Control program offers quick and easy "on the fly" deployment of its client agent service to remote machines.* Giving an administrator the ability to remotely install the client agent service eliminates the need to physically visit the remote machine to install the software. This gives administrators the unique ability to remote control any machine on the LAN or WAN (across town, across the country, or even around the world) in a matter of seconds.

The Mini Remote Control includes extensive features with regard to security and encryption, including multiple authentication methods primarily designed to use the Operating System's built-in security. It also offers additional options of encrypting all communications between the remote and local machines, taking advantage of today's standards for Encryption, Hashing, and Key Exchange.

With tons of settings and features, the Mini Remote Control can be customized to fit your network environment. The Mini Remote Control makes the NT Utilities software suite the ultimate administrative tool for managing Windows based networks. No network is too big or too small for the DameWare Mini Remote Control.

DameWare Development's affordable licensing policy is also based on the number of administrators actually using the software, regardless of the number of servers or clients accessed. The 30-day trial version is fully functional and free technical support is available via email both during and after the evaluation period.
