Warning: SolarWinds strongly recommends that you back up your registry before making any edits to your system registry. You should edit the registry only if you are experienced and confident in doing so. Using a registry editor incorrectly can cause serious issues with your operating system, which could require you to reinstall your operating system to correct them. SolarWinds cannot guarantee resolutions to any damage resulting from making registry edits.

  1. In the Start window, type regedit to open the Registry Editor.
  2. Navigate to:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > DameWare Development > Agent Configuration > Mini Remote Control Service > Settings > Permission Required
    If this path does not contain the key, navigate to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > DameWare Development > Mini Remote Control Service > Settings > Permission Required
  3. Change this setting from 0 to 1.
    A notification should display in the computer system tray, stating that the MRC agent is being reconfigured.
