Managing the NoMachine 'Server settings'

Start your journey to the next level of remote computing

When NoMachine has been installed on the computer that you want to connect to, it is ready to be remotely accessed out-of-the-box! However, you might want to change the default settings or configure the computer for a specific scenario. The NoMachine Server User Interface is a graphical interface to allow you to manage the most common settings of the server and tune access to the computer where NoMachine is installed. This is done in the NoMachine 'Server settings' which is reachable via the Monitor icon in the system tray of the computer's OS.

How to access NoMachine settings for the desktop you want to connect to

Opening NoMachine 'Server settings'

  • Go to the computer that you want to remotely access.
  • Click on the '!M' icon in the computer's system tray.
  • Select 'Show server status' (Fig. 1).

  • You are now in 'Server settings' for the NoMachine server host (Fig. 2).
  • From here you can configure all aspects of the remote computer including file transfer management, how you receive software updates, device sharing, multimedia, disabling access and screen blanking. For full details about NoMachine's server settings and services, check out the Guide to the NoMachine Server User Interface.
If the !M icon isn't showing, you can access settings via the Player

  • Click on 'Settings' (Fig. 3).
Options available are Services, Security, Devices, Transfers, Performance and Updates
