Download DameWare Mini Remote Control 9.0.1

Recently version 9.0.1 of Dameware Mini Remote Control was released. This program, which is currently published by SolarWinds, is intended for remote management of computers. It has extensive options, such as being able to send files using drag & drop, and being able to lock the keyboard and mouse so that a user on the other side can’t accidentally disrupt actions. It can also lock the computer automatically if the connection is lost. DMRC is only released for Windows, but since version 9 can also connect to Mac and Linux computers. A license costs 80 euros per user, which makes it cheaper than, for example, a commercial license of TeamViewer. The changelog for this release looks like this:

This version of MRC provides the following improvements:

• Windows 8 Support: You can now install MRC on computers running the latest Windows desktop operating system. MRC also connects to remote hosts running Windows 8.
• Linux and Mac Support: MRC now supports connections to Linux and Mac clients using a new VNC viewer option in the Remote Connect dialog. For additional information, see KB400115.
• Intel vPro Support: Both DRS (previously NT Utilities) and MRC now support Intel vPro hardware enabled with Active Management Technology (AMT). In MRC, connect to remote vPro systems even while they are booting up. For additional information, see KB400112.
• Backwards Compatibility: MRC is now backwards compatible with MRC client agents as far back as version 7.0. For additional information, see KB400116.
• Support for Silent Installs: Both DRS and MRC now include command-line arguments to support installing and licensing the products silently. For additional information, see KB400113.
• Multiple bug fixes: For additional information, see “Resolved Issues” in these release notes.

Resolved issues:

• The MSI installers for the MRC v9.0 client agent do not retain previous settings for upgraded clients. For additional information, see KB400126.
• MRC v8.x and v9.0 omits the first host selected when selecting multiple hosts to update default host settings.
• MRC v.9.0 starts up slowly.
• The MRC v9.0 client agent upgrade does not directly upgrade 64-bit clients.
• MRC v9.0 does not allow multiple users to copy and paste to/from a multisession connection.
• The chat feature crashes in MRC v8.x after upgrading from v7.5 or earlier.
• The status bar in MRC v8.x displays some incorrect messages.
• The Download SolarWinds License Manager link in the host Start menu does not work on Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP hosts in v8.x.
• The MRC v8.x client agent upgrade takes longer than expected.
• The MRC v8.x client agent is incompatible with hosts running Sophos Anti-Virus 10.0 and higher. This prevents MRC users from connecting to the affected hosts. For additional information, see KB400114.
