EMCO Remote Console is a free remote command tool with a GUI that provides access to the interactive command-line prompt on remote PCs.

Submitted by Igor Vinnykov

For many years, network administrators who need to execute commands and processes remotely have had to setup a Telnet or SSH access or use a remote desktop connection. Those approaches have some limitations, so the PsExec utility released by the Sysinternals team managed to gain its current popularity very quickly as an easy-to-use solution with zero configuration required. A similar light-weight remote command-line access is also provided by a free EMCO Remote Console tool introduced in this article. EMCO Remote Console’s extended functionality includes a graphic user interface to make the use of a remote command prompt even easier.

This part of the SC Configuration Manager v.Next review focuses on User Centric Management (UCM), on the Applications concept and the new deployment types.

Many systems administrators are familiar with Microsoft’s Systems Center Suite, relying on its various components for their day to day jobs. Operations Manager keeps tabs on the health of your infrastructure, Data Protection Manager makes sure all your (Microsoft) workloads are safely backed up, Virtual Machine Manager keeps your virtual servers and hosts in check and Configuration Manager keeps track of computer hardware and installed software.

Systems Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) 2007 was recently updated with an R3 release which added power management and a few other tweaks. In this article I’ll give an overview of the next major release of SCCM, currently called “v.Next” and explain where Microsoft is taking SCCM. This article is written on beta1; beta2 is expected in January 2011 with RTM possibly sometime mid next year.

SSH is not really popular in the Windows world. Nevertheless it is a very useful protocol to manage Windows servers remotely. All you have to do is install OpenSSH for Windows on your server. This allows you to remotely connect to a command line interface through a secure connection.

You know me, I am not a CLI fan, but if I have to manage a server using my Windows Mobile toy it is often the easiest way. The small screen of a Pocket PC is big enough for simple commands. It is no secret that most problems under Windows can be solved with a reboot. If you have a problematic server, it can be quite comforting to know that you can restart the server wherever you are.
