O&O BlueCon 22: Now with remote desktop for an unlimited number of computers

O&O Software, a leading developer of high-performance system software for Windows, today released the new version 22 of O&O BlueCon. For the first time, this includes the option of establishing a remote desktop connection to Windows PCs and servers that can no longer be started. This allows direct access to the rescue environment. In addition, Windows systems that are switched off can also be started over the Internet. The only requirement for this is Intel vPro technology, which is now fully supported.

First-time integration with O&O Syspectr

O&O BlueCon 22 offers a unique option for remote maintenance in the rescue environment. For this purpose, the entire technology has been integrated into the IT management tool O&O Syspectr and can be used on an unlimited number of PCs and servers for 29 euros net per month.
This means that IT administrators can access the end devices directly via a cloud-based connection, even if the system no longer starts properly. If Intel vPro technology is available, the device can even be started when it is switched off and then administered.
This new and unique range of functions allows for quick, location-independent diagnosis and reso-lution of problems, especially if PC systems are no longer able to start due to faulty updates from Windows itself or third-party providers.
The solution can be pre-installed on the systems as a preventative measure or subsequently used as a curative measure, if necessary, via an external medium such as a USB stick. This offers IT specialists the flexibility to react quickly and easily in emergencies and to repair a damaged system even with-out a functioning operating system.

System recovery redefined

O&O BlueCon 22 provides a wide range of tools for comprehensive system recovery, including:

  • Access to all data storage devices, including BitLocker decryption: Allows full access to encrypted drives to back up data and analyze systems.
  • Reset local accounts and passwords: IT administrators can reset forgotten passwords and restore access to local accounts.
  • Automatic repair of Windows problems: Automatic tools fix common system errors and restore the stability of the operating system.
  • Uninstall faulty Windows updates and drivers: Allows the removal of problematic up-dates and drivers that cause system problems.
  • Forensic and normal data backup: Offers both comprehensive data backup and foren-sic options to securely copy all data.
  • Built-in data recovery: Helps recover accidentally deleted or corrupted data.
  • Secure data deletion: Permanently delete sensitive information to comply with data protection regulations.

New versions of O&O DiskImage and O&O SafeErase

In addition to the previous functions, O&O BlueCon 22 also includes the latest versions of O&O DiskImage and O&O SafeErase.
With the updated version of O&O DiskImage, administrators can create complete system backups and, if necessary, perform restores to prevent data loss.
O&O SafeErase uses improved algorithms to ensure even more secure and irreversible data dele-tion, so that sensitive information is reliably protected even if the device is passed on or disposed of.
