AdminDeviceLan is a computer software program for the Windows operating system that can be used to control computer hardware devices and workstations. The program comes with an admin and client interface that need to be installed on the computer systems. The admin interface obviously needs to be installed on the computer of the system administrator while the client interface needs to be installed on all computers of the computer network that the admin wants to control.
The admin can then control the computer systems that run the client software and are connected to the computer network. The admin can use the interface to get an overview of all client computers that are currently connected. Basic options include running a ping or tracert command. The major functions on the other hand become available after clicking on the Package Work button.
This menu gives the administrator the option to enable or disable cd-rom drives, flash (read only) devices, floppy drives and flash drives. It is furthermore possible to restart a connected client computer or synchronize the time between computers. The client version of the software program uses less than three Megabytes of computer memory while running which is perfectly acceptable for a software of this kind.
