Logmein Mac: How to Stop the Client Install Pop-up



I am trying to setup an application called Remote Desktop Manager which is application configured to use Logmein desktop shortcuts for a few workstations. While these shortcuts will work for users running Windows, when I try to do the same on a Mac workstation, the Safari browser keeps trying to download the Logmein Client installer despite having this already installed and the shortcuts do not work as expected.


The following example configuration will quietly install FileZilla from a Dropbox URL on all managed Windows clients with the "bginstall" tag. These clients will also reboot after installation has completed.




Logmein Mac Keeps Prompting For Client Install



The status of an installation can be checked via the Monitor > Devices page, by clicking on a particular client and navigating to the Event log or Activity log section.


If the software install command is issued and the application does not appear on the client device, check the Dashboard-side logging to see if the app install command errored out. If you see a 'Success' entry, this means the command successfully went through, but may not have completely executed on the client device. At this point, you should reference the agent logs on the device itself, and provide these to Meraki Support for troubleshooting assistance.


The client can be a convenient option if you frequently need to remote control other computers you've been given access to. However, if you do not wish to install either the Host software (which includes the Client) or even the Client component on its own, you may still remotely access allowed computers with most web browsers. To do so, log in to the LogMeIn website.


We're interested in your feedback. Once you've tried the client, please let us know about your experience at hamachi-feedback@logmein.com. Your feedback will help define the priorities of further development of the product.

LogMeIn ($249.99/year for two computers) is our runner up for remote access solutions. We also recommend it for the times when VNC technology is blocked or a corporate firewall prevents Screens Connect from working. LogMeIn is easy to install and easy to use. In fact, I use it on a few machines at work in order to always have easy access to them from offsite. LogMeIn allows me to keep my firewall locked down, but still get to these machines. It works from the web, but they also recently added a Mac client that is installed when you sign up. It allows quick access to a machine.


Your local computer most likely has an SSH client installed by default. You can check foran SSH client by typing ssh at the command line. If yourlocal computer doesn't recognize the command, you can install an SSH client.For information about installing an SSH client on Linux or macOS X, see Forinformation about installing an SSH client on Windows 10, see OpenSSH in Windows.


Normally, the Session Key only lasts for the duration of the remote support session. This is a security feature. Remote Support does have other features that allow client installation - most notably, a "HelpMe Button" and "Jump Client." As Remote Support gains momentum, Information Technology will install "HelpMe" buttons and "Jump Clients" to handle special computer environments, such as class labs and computer locations that can be centrally managed.


The Remote Support works similarly to other screen sharing applications, such as LogMeIn or GoToMyPC. However, IT's Remote Support appliance is installed locally, on our network, whereas third-party hosted solutions are located outside the local network. Installing locally allows us to apply network security policies, as well as encrypt the network traffic between helpme.pepperdine.edu and remotely-supported clients.
