need 3 PCs in the new office .
Now the question is do I need to dedicate any of this PC as main PC to use logmein?
What do I need to to get from logmein to use in the new office? Logmein central, pro, Hamachi or Remotelyanywhere product?
on wich PC should I use Windows professional and SBS essential?
Please excuse my ignorance a simple straight 123 instructions
Thank you very much.
No, you do not need to dedicate a particular machine. They are all connected. Again, do not use the "server" as the LMI machine because you should not be using it as a desktop machine. Too much at stake.
OK, logmein can be installed on any and all computers. The FREE version does not allow printing, quick desktop shortcuts, or moving files. Most of the time you do not have to have those features so having 1 or 2 pro machines (primarily to print) would be sufficient.
LogMeIn Ignition allows you to rapidly open computers both free and pro. I forget what the annual cost is but it is low and covers the account regardless of how many machines it is loaded.
Central will keep up with updates on your computers and overall health but is about $150 a year as I recall. I did not need it.
Hamachi might work but will probably be too slow. There may be other remote networking things out there but I cannot comment at this time.
Remotelyanywhere I cannot comment, don't have experience. Ithink it is more if you are logging people in to do repairs.
SBSE will allow you to log in to all the computers on your domain. Costs about $400 for the program over the cost of the machine, installation and setup. You log into a central website and from there pick which computer to remote desktop into.
I use logmein (with ignition) between my two offices, but I have each office on a separate database and only log in to sometimes chart, sometimes look up information. Every computer is on LMI, I have 5 pro accounts (got them on sale)
Staff has dedicated machines they can log into when they need to make appointments or look up information. Some patients have charts in both offices. I also use LMI to support the various computers.
