The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Can I remotely restart a Logmein-controlled machine and be sure I can remotely log in again?

Asked by swreck in Remote Access Software, System Utilities

Tags: logmein, reboot, restart

I use Logmein regularly to remotely work on my home machine from various machines when traveling. The app I use most is Outlook, especially when I need to work on and send files on the remote system. Unfortunately, Outlook has hit a snag (for some reason, it hangs when I let Outlook automatically insert more than one email from my address book, but that's another question). I know that if I kill the process completely, it can come back--albeit after a long "Checking folders because Outlook wasn't stopped normally" message. But in this case, when I kill the process (actually two processes), it keeps coming back. And with that apparently bad process going, Outlook cannot restart. So I then killed the all the processes for other apps that I think talk to Outlook (WinCE sync, etc.), but it doesn't help. The Outlook process comes back on its own after 10 seconds or so.

So now I think it is time to reboot the remote machine. HOWEVER, does this work? I've always been logged in to the remote machine before beginning my travels. Does the remote "answer" side of Logmein need to startup only when I log in or does it start up automatically BEFORE anyone on the remote side logs in? I have this fear that I'll successfully reboot the remote system and then lose remote contact until I get home and log in.

Assuming I CAN do a restart and then get back in all remotely, should I use the restart functions inside of Logmein or just do a normal restart under the Start menu of the remote machine? Thanks.
