Adding remote snapin for Quick Fields Agent

asked on May 9, 2013 Show version history

I am trying to configure the quick fields agent from a remote computer, to allow users to start sessions remotely.

 

I have turned the feature on but cannot find documentation on how to configure it in the local MMC to point to the remote MMC snapin on our Laserfiche Server running quick fields agent.

To control Quick Fields Agent remotely, you’ll need to make sure that Agent is installed on the computer with Quick Fields, and that the Agent Admin Console is installed on the machine you want to administer Agent from.  You’ll also need to ensure that remote administration is turned on, but it sounds like you’ve already done that.  To connect your local machine to the actual Agent installation, you can open the Quick Fields Agent Admin Console and click on “Connect to…”  The default is to connect to “This Computer”, but you’ll just need to select “Remote computer and port” and enter the connection information.

 

 

And that’s about all there is to it.  If you’re still unsure about anything, just let us know where you’re struggling.

If I’m reading your question correctly, it sounds like you’re having difficulty adding the Quick Fields Agent snap-in to MMC.  If that is indeed the problem, my guess is that you’re running a 64-bit machine.  The Quick Fields Agent snap-in cannot be added in 64-bit mode.  To launch MMC as an x86 program, just add a -32 switch to the command line when launching MMC.

 

So the full line would be: C:\Windows\System32\mmc.exe -32

 

Once it’s launched in 32-bit mode, you can easily add the Quick Fields Agent snap-in.  If that’s not what you’re looking for, perhaps you can clarify where you’re running into trouble, and we’ll be happy to help!

I can get it to load locally on the server.

 

What I’m trying to do is run it across the network from my desktop workstation so that I can kick off a session when needed.

 

I can see there is the remote function but how do I remotely access it from my workstation?
