How to use Admin Console remotely

Summary: Starting from version 7.3.0 Cayosoft Admin Console can be installed separately from the Administrator Service. It allows connection to a remote Admin Service. When you click on the Start menu shortcut, the console is launched and asked the credentials for the connection.

Rules output reports are stored on the machine where Admin Service is installed. To see rule output reports in the remote Admin Console, you should share the reports folder on the service machine and specify a new path in the remote Admin Console on the Reporting page.

If you configure automation rules with CSV files you should save these files on the machine where Administrator Service is installed.

This article contains step-by-step instructions on configuring and using the Admin Console remotely.
