Remote Administration & LogMeIn IT Reach

Remote administration refers to any method of controlling a computer from a remote location.

Any computer with an Internet connection, TCP/IP or on a Local Area Network can be remotely administered.

For non-malicious administration, the user must install or enable server software on the host system in order to be viewed. Then the user/client can access the host system from another computer using the installed software.

Common tasks for which remote administration is used

Controlling one’s own computer from a remote location (e.g. to access the software on a personal computer from an internet café).

Shutting down or rebooting another computer over a network

Editing another computer’s registry settings

Modifying system services

Installing software on another machine

Remotely assisting others
