Send keystrokes to host's input focus upon initial connection

Matt Snead 11 months ago updated 11 months ago 0

When connecting to a host unattended, if it's at the logon screen, the cursor will be in the username or password field.  You can see the cursor blinking (it has "focus").  However, if you don't actually click on the box after connecting, your keystrokes go into the ether.  We are migrating from teamviewer and teamviewer did not have this issue.

Ability to Take Different Types of Screenshots

MrMattiPants 12 months ago updated by swhite (Product Manager) 12 months ago 2

Please add the ability to Choose Alternative Types of Screenshots, to the CWC Toolbar, based on the following Selections

  • Region
  • Window
  • Fullscreen (Single Display)
  • Fullscreen (Multiple Display)
  • Scrolling Window
  • Panoramic
  • Etc.

The existing Screenshot Feature is a great addition, but it ultimately tends to create more work. Since we only have One Option Available, at the present time (FullScreen), one tends to have to hunt the Image file down, then Open it into my Screenshot Editor of Choice (i.e. Snag It) or whatever is Available at the time (i.e. Microsoft Paint).


From there, you have to Crop the Image to the Borders of the Window or Object, which is rather tedious and imperfect (especially when you're taking dozens of Screenshots for Documentation purposes).

That being said, it would greatly simplify the Documentation Process if the ability to make the requested Screenshot Selections above, were available from within the CWC Toolbar.


While on the topic of Screenshots, another great feature to add, would be to Select an Application, that Screenshots can be Automatically Opened into (Similar to the TechSmith Snag-it Capture Utility, which Automatically Opens newly taken Screenshots into the Snag-It Editor Application).

    Automatically Delete a Session

    support 12 months ago 0

    Request to have a ended session automatically deleted in ConnectWise Control.

    When my techs use ConnectWise Control there role is setup to ask the user on the other end permission to connect however if they complete their task with the user, the session is ended the old session just sits out there. If a tech were to try to use the old session it would automatically allow them to remote into that users machine without prompting the user. I am requesting instead of each tech having to go in and delete their session each time there done with the user to have it automatically delete itself. This used to be a function available in really old versions of ConnectWise Control.

    SSH Access via on-prem gateway

    tc-htp 12 months ago 0

    Bomgar/BeyondTrust, TeamViewer, and other major remote control vendors support direct "real" SSH access to guests via on-prem gateways or emulation through the installed agent. It would be great if ConnectWise Control supported this, as the currently headless "console" implementation leaves a lot to be desired from a true SSH terminal software. Seems like an easy way to add features and make the product more attractive to future and current customers.

     

    A true SSH implementation allows for the ability to remote control guests without exposing them directly to the internet (with an on-prem gateway), and much better support for terminal-based utilities.

    Remove Autofill History in Screenconnect

    sharif kazwah 12 months ago updated 12 months ago 0

    Hello,

    I would like to remove autofill history in all of the fields when trying to use the Build Installer tool in screen connect. Currently if I make one new value, it will save it forever, even if it was a typo and would like to remove that.

    Show the correct Windows edition in Access

    tmontney 12 months ago updated 12 months ago 0

    I opened a case with support and they recommended that I file this as a feature. Although I disagreed with that classification, the decision stands for now.

    The ConnectWise Access client incorrectly reports Windows 10/Windows 11 editions. While this functionality may have worked in the past, it does not account for what I call "transient editions". If Windows user has a Microsoft E3 or E5 license assigned, a computer will seamlessly upgrade from Professional to Enterprise. From reports online, the reverse is also true (perhaps disconnected from the Internet for prolonged periods or removal of license).

    The agent is likely pulling WMI class OperatingSystem's property "Caption" (or PowerShell's Get-ComputerInfo cmdlet). This appears to be the edition at install time. OsOperatingSystemSKU reports the (correct) functional Windows edition (again, if the user has a license which performs a seamless upgrade).
