Overview

The remote logging feature of the Dameware Mini Remote Control client agent enables administrators to send a copy of the Dameware Mini Remote Control entries recorded in the remote computer's Application Event log to a logging server. The log host must have a Dameware Mini Remote Control client agent installed. Remote logging is useful whenever you want to track who connects to the remote computer. For example, remote logging is often enabled to comply with Payment Card Industry (PCI) logging requirements.

Before you begin, ensure that the log host and the client agent computer are running the same version of the Dameware Mini Remote Control client agent.
