Remote Management Console commands

There are many commands that you can send to your machines from within the Remote Management Console. Please be aware that some require the target machine to be rebooted.

Most of the commands follow a simple design pattern. You will be greeted by a window which contains two tabs. The left tab will contain details and settings pertaining to the command that you are about to send out.

The other tab shows which computers are the intended targets of the command.

The commands which do not follow this pattern will be pointed out at the end of this page.

Restore Workstations to Baseline

This command will restore the target computers to their Baselines. This requires a reboot. You can give the user an advance warning that the reboot is coming. The default warning period is 30 seconds.

Update Workstations Baseline

This command will update the baseline on all of the target computers.

Restart Workstations

This command will reboot all of the selected machines. You can give the user an advance warning that the reboot is coming. The default warning period is 30 seconds.

Shutdown Workstations

This command will turn off all of the selected machines. You can provide a warning, as above.

Wake up Workstations

This command attempts to wake up the target workstations. Please note that the target machines must be set up to "Wake-On-LAN" for this command to do anything.

Activate workstations

This option lets you quickly activate Drive Vaccine PC Restore Plus on many computers. If you have installed Drive Vaccine PC Restore Plus using the demo key, you must click the bottom radio button and enter a key provided to you by Horizon DataSys into the textbox. Clicking on "Activate" will start the activation process for the target computers

Workstation settings

In here you can make changes to how Drive Vaccine PC Restore Plus operates on the target computers. Each of the blue lines of text can be clicked on to show a dialog box containing the setting described in the text. The settings are identical to the ones located in the program itself. For details you can see the relevant pages in the Drive Vaccine PC Restore Plus manual.

Sending files

To send files to multiple computers you need to use the "Send files" operation. This command behaves a bit differently than all the others, you are not presented with a list of the target machines.

• Into the first textbox you need to insert the path to the file which you want to send to the machines of your choice. You can press the browse button to the left of the textbox for a Windows file chooser dialog which should make that task easier.
• Into the second textbox you should insert the path into which you want the files to be inserted.
• The third box governs which program, if any, will be run after the file is sent. You can leave this blank or select your desired program from the drop-down list.
• Finally, the fourth box shows the IP address of your Remote Management Console computer. You are advised to leave this setting alone unless you really know what you are doing.
• Once you are done with this, you can click on "Ok" to send the files to the remote machines.
