AdminZilla Network Administrator 1.6.2

Overview

AdminZilla Network Administrator is a package that can remotely manage a number of computers from a single console. The package is made to be cross-compatible with versions for Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.

The software enables a system administrator to manage a variety of different kind of computing devices that are connected to the corporate network. Devices that are only connected to the internet can also be accessed if the appropriate AdminZilla Network Administrator package has been installed on each device the admin is wanting to access.

This software enables the user to control their own computing devices remotely from anywhere. This includes smart phones, tablets, Macs and Windows computers too. Access the mouse and keyboard of a desktop or laptop computer remotely. Lock a computer, log off, restart, switch the screen saver on, load an application or load a web site.

The console provided is pretty self-explanatory and doesn't really take much learning at all to begin to use it in a practical way.

The Windows version of this software requires Windows XP, 2003, Vista, 7, 8 or 8.1 (32-bit and 64-bit support available). The Mac version requires Mac OS X 10.6 or later.

Interface

The interface has a minimal menu system at the top and quick press buttons to either add a computer or scan the network for new connected devices.

The computers and mobile devices that have already been added can be seen in the left pane. A checkbox to the left side of each computing device name can be clicked to activate remote access for it.

On the right side is a tabbed interface for Remote Screens, Tools, and Processes.

The Remote Screens tab will show the live screen for each remotely accessed computing device.

The Tools tab will show system control buttons to power on/off, log off, lock workstation, reboot, go into standby or hibernation, and to get the screensaver running. A web site or program on a certain connected computer can also be accessed using this tabbed screen.
