Remote Management
Monitor Your Network Computers Remotely in Real Time
Remote Management is a special feature that allows you to view logs and configure the filters remotely from any computer on the same network. It lets you see all records, set up website and application filters and even start/stop monitoring of your computer(s) from any place in the office. Your changes take effect immediately.
The Remote Management is one of many features of our programs - HT Employee Monitor and HT System Administrator.
How to Configure and Use Remote Management
To use the Remote Management feature, you need to enable it locally on the monitored computer and remember its address. Then open your browser on an admin computer and access Remote Console of a monitored computer by entering its address together with your password.
Note! To use Remote Management, install HT Employee Monitor or HT System Administrator on each computer you want to manage.
