Remote process management and file system on a remote computer may be required in different situations - from the use of additional facilities taken for rent before providing services for setting up and treating customer systems. In this article we will discuss ways of uninstalling programs on machines, access to which is carried out remotely, through a local or global network.
Removing programs via the network
There are several ways to uninstall programs on remote computers. One of the most convenient and simple is the use of special software, which, with the permission of the owner, allows you to perform various actions in the system. There are system analogs of such programs - RDP clients embedded in Windows.Method 1: Programs for remote administration
As mentioned above, these programs allow you to work with a remote computer file system, run various applications and change system parameters. At the same time, the user who performs remote administration will have the same rights as the account, the entrance to which is performed on the controlled machine. The most popular and convenient software that meets our needs and also having a free version with sufficient functionality is TeamViewer.

By analogy with TeamViewer, the work is carried out in a separate window, which displays the desktop remote computer.Read more: Connect to a remote computer
