Remote administration solutions

[Undecided]

Hi - is there any remote administration software that:

- gracefully handles port forwarding automatically (like TeamViewer)
- is system wide, so it's invoked prior to login. Running only after logging in is proving unworkable.

Thanks.

You do know that you can set up TeamViewer to automatically launch on start-up, right?

Yes, but near as I can tell, it's launched automatically after a login. Is that not correct?

Are you referring to a Mac or Windows PC? If the former, I believe it launches after login, if the latter, before.

Right, Mac, so launches after.

I remotely turned on FileVault, which causes it to reboot, and now neither TeamViewer nor Apple Remote Desktop are responding, even though it was set to automatically login a user.

I just tested it, and it starts before login on Mac OS X 10.6.8, using TeamViewer 8. On the remote computer, make sure you've checked TeamViewer > Preferences > General > "Start TeamViewer with System"

Yeah, that's definitely checked. <shrug> I'll discover what the issue is when I get home and see where it's hung. Hopefully it doesn't say,

"Not ready reading drive A
Abort, Retry, Fail?"

haha...

OK, well, it looks like it was asleep. I hit the power button and it woke to the login screen. <shrug> Maybe rebooting from turning on FileVault was a bit different from a regular boot.
