DeltaV Remote Access Options
I have a quick question related to remote access to DeltaV Systems. Are there any third party applications outside of, for instance, DeltaV Remote Access Server or DeltaV Remote Clients, that are approved/preferred by Emerson for remote access and control of DeltaV Systems. For instance applications such as Real VNC or Dameware.

Hi, VNC and dameware are not supported in DeltaV. The only remote access software that was allowed/tested on DeltaV stations is pcanywhere. Any other third party software will not be supported. Also be informed that installing untested software may cause some files (e.g. dll files) to be overwritten and cause unexpected behavior on the system.

Does DeltaV use Windows?
I'm not sure exactly what the issue is, but there was a change made in v10 or v11 to associated the DeltaV account with a specific domain. DeltaV uses a windows account and associates the DeltaV security to that Account name. Before this change, any "Administrator" account that could log onto a workstation gained the DeltaV privileges of that account. So if you trusted domains, the workstation, child domain and parent domain administrator all have the same DeltaV privilege.
Can DeltaV only use domain?
