Imagine that you could restart any remote Mac or Windows computer as if you were in front of it. With SetMe, nothing is impossible! Now you can not only reboot a remote machine in either normal or safe mode, but also observe everything that’s happening on the remote end during a restart.
SetMe offers two options to restart a remote computer. You can either connect to the remote desktop and restart the machine from the Windows/Apple menu, or reboot it using the Expert Console. Here’s how it works:
As you may have noticed in the video, SetMe’s remote desktop window remains open throughout the entire reboot. Important information about the key system events, such as restart, is displayed both within the Expert Console and remote desktop window. This way, you can always stay on top of what’s happening on the remote end.
Right after the restart is completed, you can seamlessly control the remote computer’s login screen and switch between the available users provided that SetMe’s client app is either installed on the remote computer or is currently running in Admin mode. On top of that, SetMe lets you automatically reconnect without having to reopen the remote desktop window.
To further simplify the reconnect process, you can also enable automatic sign-in to continue working with the same user after the restart is completed.
The remote computer’s last boot time is conveniently displayed within the Expert Console’s Restart tab and automatically updated after each restart.
We’ll be further reviewing SetMe’s powerful new restart and reconnect functionality in an upcoming series of posts, so stay tuned!
