Abstract
Today computers have become an integral part of
everyone’s life. Use of computers is not only restricted for
corporate use but also for personal use and
intercommunication purpose. For all these different
purposes networking or network has become the magic
word. Today, lots of information and resources are shared
all over the world through the network. The buzzword or the
revolutionary term originated from this is global network i.e.
Internet. But along with all the advancements and
developments, the danger of misusing the network has also
increased.
The main objective behind development of “Remote Desktop
Monitor” to build a server application that allows to view or
even control the desktop session on another machine that is
running a compatible client application, with the efficiency
to provide the real time information about the remote
machine.
Introduction
This project is a network based one. The primary objective
behind development of “Remote desktop Monitor” is to
provide a mechanism by which system administrators could
remotely connect to a desktop machine and resolve basic
problems for users. However, the umbrella term "Remote
Desktop" encompasses much more functionality and use
cases. The project aims at developing an application to
access and interact with a remote desktop. Aim is to
remotely administer a system over the network.
Limitations of the existing systems
The existing systems have the following limitations:
1 Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a multi-channel
protocol that allows a user to connect to a computer
running Microsoft Terminal Services[5].
2. In most of the existing remote desktop capturing
applications, the user working on the remote machine is
aware with the fact that someone else is viewing his/her
desktop remotely[4].
3. In some of the existing systems, when a user accesses
the desktop of the remote machine then the display
terminal of that remote machine is disabled. This is a
major limitation, because it prohibits the original user of
the remote machine to carry out his/her task[4].
4. In some of the already existing systems, the quality of
desktop image captured is of poor quality.
System Overview
The Remote desktop Monitor will allow the system
administrator to use or to remotely control the other systems
through a simple application. This software intends to
leverage existing technologies and to utilise them in a new
way. The proposed Remote desktop will exist in a
distributed computer environment such as the Internet but
will also be accessible from within an intranet such as an
office or in the home itself. The proposed system can best be
illustrated with the following diagram
Conclusion
Remote desktop Monitor is a potentially huge growth area
and several companies are currently developing software
that enables users to access remote systems from the office
or other remote locations by using even embedded system.
By using platform independent languages like C#, for
development, gives freedom to use same application in
heterogeneous system.
