Questions about Repeater and IDs

Post by Prometheus »

Hi all, I've been reading the site and forums for a few hours now and have a couple of questions. What I'm interested in doing is installing SC as a service (attempting the method sticky'd here) on some client machines that I need after-hours access to for maintenance. Am I correct in believing that the service will just keep contacting the repeater and I will be able to connect to those machines from anywhere by also connecting to the repeater and using the ID I configured in the SC installation?

My other question is, am I going to have to create a separate SC executable for every machine I want to do this to, so that it will have a separate ID, or is there another way to specify the ID for the service? I'm looking at rolling this out for 20-50 machines and having to create a separate exe for each machine would be a huge pita. Also, if I've got 20+ machines connecting to the repeater what sort of bandwidth drag is this going to create?

Thanks.
