About ten or fifteen years ago, in one of the IT publications, I came across a very interesting figurative comparison of the activities of a system administrator running around the office from computer to computer with a box of CDs and floppy disks, with the work of a chemical weaver (remember the famous shots from the film “The Shining Path”?). However, today IT specialists in some companies work in a similar way - after all, setting up workstations is often carried out directly at the workstations where they are installed. The main reason for this ineffective approach is that the remote computer management tools built into modern client and server operating systems cannot perform all the operations required to support users. The optimal scenario for supporting workstations and servers, of course, would be completely remote administration, allowing you not to run around the office, not travel to branches and not freeze in the server room.

Companies specializing in system integration and software development, in addition to the listed tasks, often provide technical support to their customers or deploy new versions of implemented applications to them. To do this, you usually have to go to the customer’s office, but it would be beneficial for both the customer and the contractor to avoid such visits. This is especially true for companies operating ATMs and payment terminals - after all, they are distributed over a large area, are associated with cash and are located in publicly accessible places, which means that their maintenance requires not only an IT specialist, but also security.

Recently, many companies, in addition to administration, are faced with the need to organize remote work for users who need access to their workstation or corporate network resources while on a business trip or from home. This mode of operation contributes to better data security - after all, if data of commercial value does not physically leave the company’s office, then it cannot be stolen along with the employee’s laptop (as you know, the theft of laptops is one of the most common channels for leaking confidential data).

Speaking about data security, we note that in some companies it makes sense to monitor the activities of employees on corporate computers, for example, in order to prevent the leakage of confidential data or misuse of corporate resources.

We also note the increasingly widespread use of online learning, which allows you to save considerable money due to the absence of travel expenses. Distance learners may be scattered throughout the world and should not be concentrated in one place. And holding online presentations and meetings is no longer exotic these days.

All of the above tasks require remote computer management tools. Of course, there are such tools in modern operating systems, but they are not always optimal in terms of speed and ease of use.

What should be the optimal means of remote computer control?

What should a remote computer control tool be like that solves the above problems? Ideally, it should not only connect to a remote computer (for this there are terminal access tools available in one form or another in all modern operating systems), but also be able to connect in cases where the computer is frozen, allow changes to be made in the BIOS remotely download or install an operating system, use multiple connections to one computer. At the same time, the tool for remote control of computers must provide image quality sufficient for comfortable administration and high speed of its transmission, support for various screen resolutions, and also be able to exchange text and voice data with the controlled computer (with users whose technical support is provided remotely, because you need to somehow communicate…). And, since we are talking about ATMs and payment terminals, the protection of transmitted data and means of delineating access rights must completely exclude the possibility of their leakage.

In this article we will talk about one of such tools - the Radmin system from the Russian company Famatech.

What can Radmin do?

Radmin is very familiar to many IT specialists and enjoys well-deserved popularity in companies of various sizes and from various industries. Its third version is now available.

Principle of operation

The operating principle of Radmin is quite simple. The product consists of two parts: the licensed Radmin Server application, which is installed on the computer to be administered remotely, and the free Radmin Viewer application, which is installed on the computer from which administration is performed, and these two applications exchange data with each other. You can use Radmin both on a local network and over the Internet.

How Radmin works

Radmin Server supports all modern 32- and 64-bit operating systems of the Windows family, namely Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Server 2008/2008 R2, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 Server. And Radmin Viewer can be run under not only the above systems, but also Windows emulators: Wine for Linux and Parallels for Mac OS. This allows remote access using Radmin from computers equipped with Linux or Mac OS.

Radmin functionality

What can Radmin do compared to Windows terminal access tools?

It allows you to connect to a remote computer in full access, view only, file sharing, reboot/shutdown, text and voice chat, command line, BIOS editing modes using Intel AMT technology, as well as sending instant text notifications.

Radmin has a simple and intuitive user interface that is quite familiar to users, including those who have not previously used terminal access tools or virtual machine management tools.

Radmin User Interface

Note that Radmin optimizes the transmitted traffic by sending only changes to the image on the screen, and not the entire image. In addition, this product supports any screen resolution and multiple monitors, as well as smooth color depth changes from black and white (for minimal traffic) to full color (for accurate color reproduction). In this case, when transmitting data, an intelligent compression algorithm is used, which allows you to automatically adjust the compression level to the channel bandwidth and processor load, providing an accurate correlation between processor load and the width of the data transmission channel. This sets Radmin apart from the built-in Windows Remote Desktop tools starting with Windows 7. The minimum color depth for image transmission when accessing a Remote Desktop is 16 bits, which significantly increases network traffic.

Radmin allows you to make several simultaneous connections to one remote computer and one computer to several and switch between user sessions, which again distinguishes it from Windows remote desktop access tools, since in client versions of Windows, when such a connection is made, the user session is blocked, and from the built-in Remote Assistant tools, which require the presence of the user of the managed computer and do not allow either transferring files or running applications under an account with administrator rights.

Other useful features include two-way work with the clipboard with Unicode support and a built-in computer scanner in the address book of the computer on which Radmin Viewer is installed. In addition, a free Radmin Deployment Package program is available for administrators, with which you can easily and quickly install Radmin remotely on thousands of computers, configure access rights, activate or update Radmin.

Safety

From a security point of view, Radmin is an extremely reliable product. Protection of absolutely all transmitted data (including screen images, cursor movement and keyboard signals) in all connection modes is carried out according to the modern AES data protection standard, which eliminates the possibility of leakage of confidential information. User authentication is performed using Windows security with Active Directory support and the Kerberos protocol. In addition, Radmin uses its own built-in authentication system, Radmin Security, using individual access rights that allow access only for certain computers and subnets.

Security system Radmin Security: IP address filtering

Note that Radmin includes protection against password guessing, such as activating time delays when a password is suspected of being brute-forced and blocking suspicious IP addresses.

Radmin supports the ability to set a connection request to a remote computer to protect against unauthorized access.

Radmin Server 3 runs exclusively as an operating system service, which eliminates the possibility of accessing it without the appropriate rights. In addition, Radmin includes self-testing procedures that protect the program code from changes, making it resistant to malicious code.

Security system Radmin Security:
differentiation of access rights

Finally, Radmin Server actively protects settings stored in the system registry. Only a user with administrator rights has access to this registry branch.

Who uses Radmin

As already mentioned, Radmin is used in many industries. However, it is most often used in the banking industry for remote servicing of ATMs and payment terminals, as well as for supporting and configuring computers in a distributed banking network, including in a number of the largest Russian banks, in retail networks for managing and monitoring POS terminals, as well as in government agencies (city administrations, city halls, federal government bodies) and many commercial structures in which monitoring the activities of employees and their remote training in working with modern software are relevant.

Many companies also use Radmin to allow employees to remotely access office resources using inexpensive netbooks. Such solutions, as already mentioned, reduce the risk of leakage of confidential information. In addition, a netbook that can work with the Radmin Viewer application, which is very undemanding of resources, costs much less than a regular laptop, and, which is also important, it weighs much less.

Currently, Radmin has been translated into 27 languages, and it is sold and implemented by more than 5 thousand Famatech partners around the world. All users are provided with free technical support. The Radmin license, importantly, is perpetual, and educational institutions can purchase this product at a discounted price.

So, we have become familiar with the remote administration tool Radmin. I can’t help but notice that thanks to the expanded capabilities of supporting data exchange between the control and managed computers and reliable security tools, the scope of application of this product today is very diverse and includes not only remote administration of computers, payment terminals and ATMs, but also technical support for users, monitoring of actions employees, online presentations and seminars, distance learning, remote work. Note that Radmin was originally designed to be multilingual, and the fact that its manufacturer is located in Russia means that no problems with incorrect localization, which, alas, are common in many foreign products, will not arise. I believe that Russian IT specialists should pay close attention to this decision.

Before installation

Radmin 3 consists of two modules:

Both computers must be connected to each other via TCP/IP protocol on a local network, via a modem or via the Internet.

Installing and configuring Radmin Server 3

Step 1:

To install Radmin Server download and run the file rserv34ru.exe on the computer, to which you are going to connect remotely. Follow the instructions on the screen. During installation, the necessary files will be copied to the default system directory (C:\WINDOWS\system32\rserver30\). Previous versions of Radmin Server 3 installed on your computer will be automatically replaced by the new version (with all settings retained).

Step 2:

Configure access rights to Radmin Server. Follow the instructions below.

Select "Access rights..." from the menu.

Select a security mode. The Radmin security system is most convenient when connected via the Internet and has more flexible access rights settings. Windows NT security is primarily used in internal corporate networks.

You need to add the user to the security system. If no user has been created, access to the Radmin Server is impossible under any circumstances.

Add a new user to the system. It is advisable to enter the username and password in Latin characters. The minimum password length is 6 characters.

Now you can set access rights for the created user. If no option is checked, access to the Radmin Server is impossible.

To provide an additional level of security, you can change the general settings of Radmin Server. If you use Radmin only for a technical specialist to connect to you and solve your problems remotely (when you are at the computer), you can configure confirmation of incoming connections (reject or allow connections manually and by timer). In addition, you can change the default port through which a technician or administrator connects to you. If you have changed the default port, write it down or tell your administrator that this port number will be needed to configure Radmin Viewer.

Step 3:

Write down the IP address of your computer; to do this, hover your mouse over the Radmin Server icon.

You can also see your external IP address. If you do not have a dedicated external IP address, contact your network administrator to configure the router.

Step 4:

Now you can connect to Radmin Server using the free Radmin Viewer program (see installation and configuration instructions below).

You can use the full-featured version of Radmin Server for free for 30 days. After the 30-day period, you will not be able to connect to Radmin Server until the license key is entered. To continue working with the program, do not forget to purchase and activate recently installed copies of Radmin Server 3.

Installing and configuring Radmin Viewer 3

Step 1:

To install Radmin Viewer download and run the file rview34ru.exe on the computer, from which You are about to connect remotely. Follow the instructions on the screen. During installation, the necessary files will be copied to the default directory (C:\Program Files\Radmin Viewer 3\). Previous versions of Radmin Viewer 3 installed on your computer will be automatically replaced by the new version (with all settings retained). The installation process for Radmin Viewer 3 is similar to the installation process for Radmin Server 3.

Step 2:

Launch Radmin Viewer and create a new connection.

Specify the IP address of the computer on which Radmin Server is installed and configured and to which you are going to connect. Please also provide a friendly name for the connection.

If necessary, you can change the default connection settings to save network traffic or to increase the speed of work with a slow Internet connection (for example, via GPRS).

Step 3:

Check the accessibility of the remote computer by scanning with the built-in scanner. If the connection icon is checked after scanning, Radmin Server is installed on the remote computer and is ready for connection.

Enter the username and password previously specified in the Radmin Server settings on the remote computer.

Now you can enjoy fast and secure remote control of your computer!
