AdvancedRemoteInfo

AdvancedRemoteInfo is designed to help you retrieve various information from remote computers. It is a network administration tool that can prove to be useful when you need to find out details such as the BIOS version or the running processes.

The interface of the program might seem a little overwhelming to the casual user since it provides a lot of data. However, the layout allows you to separate the information into different categories in order to quickly access the relevant items.

In order to retrieve the data from the remote device you need to enter the IP address in the main window and start the scan. The application can also be used in command line mode if you want to quickly scan a workstation and export the retrieved data to an XLS, CSV or HTML file.

Besides the general information about the operating system and the user the app can scan the processes and services. You also have the option of starting a certain service or ending a process on the network computer.

If the administrator needs to view the list of installed programs, this tool can scan the workstation and list the ones that can be uninstalled. Unfortunately, in our tests it failed to start the uninstaller or perform a silent software removal on the remote computer.

The program features additional tools which intend to ease certain activities of a network administrator. These include the Wake On LAN utility, a subnet calculator and the ability to launch Windows default utilities such as the Registry Editor or the Event Viewer.

Overall, AdvancedRemoteInfo provides a plethora of tools that aim to increase the network administrator’s productivity. However, since many of them start processes on remote computers they might trigger some antivirus alerts.
