Remote Support Software list

I'm starting a remote support software list, since many of us here do computer/IT tech stuff and need to connect to random various clients easily in order to see their desktop and fix issues.

Proper remote support software is different than remote access software like logmein, or VNC, or PcAnywhere, or Remote Desktop Protocol built into Windows. 

What defines a good remote support app

*As single click as possible for the remote end user needing support

*No firewall configuration, no port forwarding, no needing to know end users WAN IP address

*Share desktop with end user needing support, full KVM from your point of view

Remote Assistance built into Microsoft Small Business Server...the admin logs into the console, and from MMC you can do a TSWeb like session with clients on the network. I use this a lot since many of my clients networks are based on SBS. While technically it does require a static IP and port forwarding, it's still a quick and easy way to get to end users desktop if they're behind their their SBS box.

WINE Installation for Ubuntu 12.04

Wine lets you run Windows software on other operating systems. With Wine, you can install and run these applications just like you would in Windows.
Wine enables Linux, Mac, FreeBSD, and Solaris users to run Windows applications without a copy of Microsoft Windows. Wine is free software under constant development. Other platforms may benefit as well.



Install Wine on Ubuntu/Linux Mint open Terminal (Press Alt+F2 and type: gnome-terminal -or- Press Ctrl+Alt+T) and copy the following commands in the Terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.5

Browswer not connecting to the internet

Check the Network services Whether it is started are stopped.
services are Network Connections and workstation like that. and then follow this steps
Start > run: msconfig >
In the services tab enable all services, its having network related services.


Start > Run: cmd and at the prompt type and enter:


netsh winsock reset catalog


then reboot.


If that doesn't work, and you haven't tried it, I would recommend doing a System Restore:


Start > run: msconfig > Launch System Restore and choose a date before this happened.


System Restore's can be "undone"

Windows cannot load the locally stored profile possible causes of this error include insufficient

Here's a better solution ...

 during this issue lose all settings and not able to see the profile,All files in the same directory, but couldn't load that in profile.

Just followed this suggestion.

chkdsk /f /r

Then chose Y to have it done on next bootup.

It found a problem in NTUSER.dat file.just rebooted the system.check disk automatically starts during this time please wait all file should be recover.

Configure Remote Desktop through Group Policy

Any time I can set something to be centrally managed, I'll do it. Group Policy is the best way to do that for Windows Servers, and we can configure Remote Desktop within Group Policy. The good news is that it is really easy to deploy for a computer account, and can be done centrally with a Group Policy Object (GPO) that applies to computer accounts.


Within Group Policy, navigate to the Computer Configuration | Policies | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Remote Desktop Session Host | Connections section of Group Policy; here, you can set the "Allow users to connect remotely using Remote Desktop Services" value to be enabled. This configuration is shown in Figure below:

Windows 7 Command-Line Tips and Tricks

Open CMD anywhere:
Go to the place in question in Windows Explorer, then press Shift + Right-Click. You will now notice that in the list of options, there will appear "Open command Windows here."

Open an Elevated Command Prompt:
Click on Start and in the search bar, type "cmd". Press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter. Click on "Yes" when User Account Control pops up. You will now notice that you are in C:\WINDOWS\system32.

Drag and Drop to Command Prompt:
From Windows Explorer, you can drag and drop files into an open Command Prompt. That will display the full pathname to the file in question. Plus, if you Enter, you can execute the file.

Copy and paste from the command line:
Right-Click and select Mark. Now, drag over the area you want to copy, hit Enter and the text is copied to the clipboard. Similarly, you can click on the icon in the title bar and choose Paste to paste the text you already have on the clipboard.

Hit F7 for command line history:
Hit F7 and you will get a complete list of commands that you executed. Use the arrow keys to highlight the command you want to run again or just hit the number key corresponding to the command that you want to execute.

Run multiple commands:
You can run multiple command by separating them with &&. Note that this doesn’t run the commands simultaneously. Instead, the command towards the left is run first and if it completes successfully then the second command will run. If the first command fails, then the second command will not run.

Ex: MKDIR C:\FOLDER && RD C:\FOLDER

Go fullscreen:
Hit Alt+Enter and now you have the entire screen to enter your commands and view the output. Sadly. this doesn’t always work.

Navigate the HDD:
To go somewhere on the HDD, type CD C:\%Where you want to go%. You can also type
CD %where you want to go INSIDE the dir%.
