Alternatives to LMI
-
An agentless connection means using something that's already on the machine... Pretty sure that limits you to RDS.

No it doesnt

I asked for a solution that meets these requirements to see if there is one, I don't want a bunch of random use this but it doesn't really do what you need.. Either it meets the requirements or doesn't. Simple as that.
That's the problem with this forum.

You already have a solution, LMI right? so what are you looking for then, something cheaper, something free? If lmi does all you want it to do why did you make the post? If you dont give a shit what others think why did you make the post.

Can you provide an agentless no end user solution? I'm all ears. LMI definitely cant. If the agent isn't there LMI cant connect without the user there.

I think he means agentless on the client end, not the server end. So LMI is agentless since it's done through a browser.
Edit: never mind

This might work? http://www.cloudmanagementsuite.com/remote-control/
Looks like it's agentless on the server side too somehow.
Our remote control solution uses agentless technology, which loads on demand and dissolves when complete. Perfect when you don’t want bloated programs running in the background using precious resources.

You are incorrect LMI can indeed connect without an installed agent. It uses the user/pass you give it to run a a temporary exe.

@Jason that's the same thing ScreenConnect does!
-
LMI uses an agent, so why can you use the SC agent on the local network?

No it doesn't, screen connect requires the agent to be deployed. You can not just enter a host name on the network and connect without a preinstalled agent
-
@Jason what does that?
-
I'm pretty sure Bomgar is agentless too, but expensive.

Sounds like you're sticking with LMI...

Log Me in Does.. No agent has to be preinstalled for connecting on the local network without user interaction.

As someone that does not use LMI, how does it do that? I have no idea and I want to know. Is it using some windows protocol? Pushing an angent out on demand to execute and then destroy itself? I can see many ways it can do it, just want to know what it does.

Yes, the end user gets a link to download an on demand agent. It disappears as soon as you are done using it. This is LMI Rescue, not the normal LMI.

Maybe I'm being dense (it's been a long day!)., but how is that "without user interaction"?

Just a stupid way to do it would be run a script remotely to run the temp agent if both are on the same domain.

It's definitely not without user interaction. Agents are the only thing without user interaction. Otherwise, it would just be hacking.
