LogMeIn vs LogMeIn Client
Hello,
We recently started to deploy the LogMeIn Central client to our internal staff systems and noticed that the MSI and batch file that we created via the deployment section of LogMeIn Central portal, is installing 2 separate programs. LogMeIn and LogMeIn Client. I think I figured out the difference between the two.
- LogMeIn - is the agent (for the host machine) that has the Control Panel.
- LogMeIn Client - is the app that allows to you connected to other Host agents.
We are using Central for remoting in to staff systems and we prefer staff not have both of these installed, specifically the agent as staff will not have a need to remote into other systems. I was curious to why the LogMeIn Client is needed and part of the default installation? I would like to NOT install this as part of our deployment package but not sure if A - can this be done? B - should it be done? I did test uninstalling it from a few systems and it seems to have no impact of what we are using LogMeIn for. I also removed the preference setting to Allow Screen sharing as I though perhaps this client was required for this feature to function. But turning it off did not impact the deployment package and continued to install the agent.
Ultimately, we would like to deploy this agent to all 900 computers in our organization and have it not install the agent (unless required), and hidden as much as possible (I did find and option to hide it from the task tray which works great). Any tips or suggestions regarding the install options and what are the best options to minimize the logmein visibility would be great?
I also wanted to know if there are any documents or information for the property values for the following command lines?
DEPLOYID=01
INSTALLMETHOD=5
FQDNDESC=1
