Remote control of Windows systems?
Remote control of Windows systems?
Hi, in your office there are roughly 30 stations using Windows 10 and 7. There’s no domain setup, no Windows Server, just a Linux Debian server running Samba for the shared drive. You’re trying to control everything from one Windows 7 station and need features like remote desktop, software management, and possibly installing apps remotely. I hope you found the right place—was wondering if it’s more about network configuration or operating system support?
This would pose a security risk, wouldn't it? You'll need to turn on remote desktop services on your own machine before you can connect remotely later. After connecting, you can perform any actions a local user can, but you'll be logged off whenever someone is using that computer. Only one user at a time is permitted on server versions of Windows.
Seeking remote management options beyond standard remote desktop. Looking for solutions like WinRM if supported by the Windows versions you're using. Planning to deploy antivirus across the network or verify firewall settings on all devices. Understand that these tasks are feasible with a Windows Server and domain environment, but I don't have access to that configuration. Remote desktop is active, but the port isn't accessible through the router, making it appear open locally without raising security concerns.
You can activate remote desktop access from a distant machine using PowerShell. Refer to the guide here: https://sid-500.com/2018/04/02/powershel...computers/
Use the remote desktop feature with the admin credentials from one of the networked machines. Ensure the appropriate permissions are set so you can connect and access the remote session.
