Why don't you get an Intel Nuc for light gaming.
Doesn't fit a GPU.
Be realistic, the budget is $600. for that you aren't getitng much of a GPU, and the GPU in the current Gen Intel CPUs is pretty darn good compared to what you'd get at that price anyway.

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.
I believe LMI says it uses the windows remote registry service to temporarily run for your session.

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.
Which would really just make it an installed agent.
Not pre-installed no it isn't.
If you script it to always be there and running, it really is.
No it's not. It's only running while you access it. And no agent is installed before you click connect.

It's not the way Scott is saying that's for remote user support when unattended hasn't been setup. Connect on Lan is different.

This is not the only way
Connect on lan is agentless it uses a temp EXE running using windows remote registry service. No agent pre-installed is needed
@aaronstuder said in Alternatives to LMI:
@Jason what does that?
Log Me in Does.. No agent has to be preinstalled for connecting on the local network without user interaction.
@aaronstuder said in Alternatives to LMI:
@Jason that's the same thing ScreenConnect does!
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
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.
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.
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.
@Dashrender said in 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
@momurda said in Alternatives to LMI:
@Jason
Not sure what you mean ;connect on local network'. It certainly does that. You can also initiate the sessions if you set it up to do so. Unattended might be a problem, since user has to hit Yes to your prompts. But if they are there waiting for your help i dont see that as a problem. If you need to get in when they arent there, you could use Remote Desktopn.
Other solutions are going to cost lots of money.
We aren't interested in loosing features just to hope to another solution. We have and pay for LMI now and use all the features it has.
Connect to lan is a problem because it does not allow you to connect without user interaction as it does in LMI. RDP is not a shadow or session of what's happening locally. So it will not work either.
@aaronstuder said in Alternatives to LMI:
Screenconnnect meets all your requirements expect connect on LAN without agent install
Which is a requirement we need. Screen connect has already been tested and thrown out.
@IRJ said in Alternatives to LMI:
VNC meets alot of those, but of isn't exactly agentless. However the agent is very light weight and easy to deploy since it is a MSI.
VNC doesn't work over interwebs without port forwarding or proxy. It also doesn't allow technicians to share a session
@momurda said in Alternatives to LMI:
Is there something very wrong with Offer Remote Assistance? Ive used it in the past with great success. I think it does all you want, long as who/what youre connecting to is on your domain/forest.
It doesn't allow unattended or connect on local network. The user has to start that
Must Have:
Abliitiy to have lots of IT staff,
Connect on LAN without agent install
Connect via one time download without admin rights and ability to gain admin rights as a service etc with that (using your account)
Unattended access with agent (preferablity that can be invoked/installed via connect on LAN/One time without any need to do anything on the desktop itself)
Is there anything else that actually meets all of this? ScreenConnect does not.

It was just a bad local company..
I have a feeling others contacted them and they got mad..
"This job posting is no longer available on Indeed."
I doubt it was filled.
They keep emailing me non stop now after I let them know the listing was wrong haha. Everyone should start contacting them.
