The Mini Remote Control program offers quick and easy "on the fly" deployment of its client agent service to remote machines. Giving an administrator the ability to remotely install the client agent service eliminates the need to physically visit the remote machine to install the software. This gives administrators the unique ability to remote control any machine on the LAN or WAN (across town, across the country, or even around the world) in a matter of seconds.

The Mini Remote Control includes extensive features with regard to security and encryption, including multiple authentication methods primarily designed to use the Operating System's built-in security.It also offers additional options of encrypting all communications between the remote and local machines, taking advantage of today's standards for Encryption, Hashing, and Key Exchange.

DameWare Mini Remote Control program is also the only known third-party remote administration tool with the ability to perform an Interactive Smart Card Login as well as Remote Smart Card Authentication, using a Smart Card and PIN from your local machine.This also does not require any type of Smart Card Middleware, nor does it even require a Smart Card reader installed on the remote machine.
