Instructions

Once you have downloaded the program, there are first a few things that you should take into consideration:

  • Does the remote machine that you want to connect to have the Windows Firewall turned on and blocking remote connections or WMI connections? If so, you will need to amend this or the tool will not be able to connect to the remote machine successfully.
  • Do you have domain administrator credentials to be able to remotely connect to other domain machines?
  • Is the remote machine turned on?
  • If you want to change the computer description on a local machine, ensure that you run the tool as administrator.
