Today the Rescue team is excited to announce that Linux is now available for customers. The release marks a huge milestone for Rescue, as Ubuntu is the first new platform supported by Rescue in over a decade!

This year one of the core tenants of the Rescue roadmap is to expand Rescue’s reach to more device types and support scenarios, and Linux represents the first of these new offerings. In a post Covid world, Rescue customers demanded support for additional operating systems and platforms – Linux being chief among them. There are multiple reasons for this surge in Linux adoption. Modern versions of Linux like Ubuntu offer a graphical user interface that is extremely similar to macOS and Windows, it requires very little hardware resources to run, is easy to lock down and control, and provides a simple platform for users who only need to access lightweight web applications. As a result, we are seeing many more companies offering Linux devices to their employees. Ubuntu is not the only Linux version that Rescue will ultimately support, as versions like Redhat and Debian are still prevalent on servers and other devices around the world.

We are proud to announce the release of the LogMeIn Rescue Calling Card for macOS, a feature that historically has only been available to our Windows-based customers.

The Calling Card lets end users quickly and easily initiate a pin or channel-based support session from a desktop shortcut using a pre-installed component. This feature provides for a faster, smoother session initiation experience, as the user does not need to navigate to a pin entry site to download the applet. With Channel based sessions, users can even enter information about the problem as well as their contact or any other information into the custom fields - reducing the need for the Technician to gather additional information. The Calling Card is also brandable and customers can add their own logos and labels to make it feel like a natural extension to their existing tools.

Unattended MSI Wizard

By using the Access Wizard, LogMeIn Rescue customers can conveniently mass-deploy the Unattended Access service to multiple devices. Once the installer is deployed, LogMeIn Rescue Administrators can manage the machines associated with each MSI they created.

If this new method fails, the Technician Console can fall back to the old way of working.
