I need to check and control my windows computers remotely, with the following requirements:
without interfering with the users (kids, wife, friends).
temporarily lock them (and to stop the current user from using it until I release it),
check running tasks and to be able to kill some of them if needed,
check available space on drives, etc.
It's OK to install agents on each computer if needed. Also, the same level of control over the internet would be a big advantage.
I've checked several programs like prtg, yamp, remote desktop manager free and several others, but no real solution.
Active directory on a dedicated server (that seems to be the solution) cannot be used on windows home versions and is also complicated and problematic over internet.
I have 2 windows 7 and 2 windows 10 computers (also a win XP but maybe I will throw away in the near future as it is old, but still ok for some games and office tasks).
The Windows 10 home computer is in a different location (so that's why control over the internet is also a big advantage).
How can I do this?
