You can remotely administer any EventSentry installation just like a local one. The only setting that cannot be remotely administered is the Remote Update itself.

You have read/write permissions to the registry key HKLM\Software\netikus.net\EventSentry
The default administrative share ADMIN$ exists on the remote computer (only necessary for remote service installation)

 

Instructions:

 

Option 1: Right-Click the local computer object and select "Connect to another computer" ... You can also connect to a remote computer by selecting "Connect" from the "File" menu.
