Firewall

If you plan to access Deskman remotely, via web, make sure the firewall allows connections to/from deskman.exe, usually located at c:\program files\deskman\deskman.exe. Default web port: 2288.

Data

Configuration data, with your active restrictions, and profiles, can be imported/exported using the File menu, which also serves as a backup option. Deskman stores application data in %ALLUSERSPROFILE%, by default.

Remote Access

Deskman Pro works remotely:

• Web Interface: Access Deskman remotely, via web.
• Remote Desktop: Run Deskman via Remote Desktop (RDP) / Terminal Services.
