Remote management is the ability to control and monitor systems from a distance, using secure tools instead of being physically on site. In Remote Desktop Manager, remote management centralizes launch, monitoring, and troubleshooting for technologies such as Active Directory, VMware, and Hyper V. When entries are stored in Devolutions Cloud, the vault becomes the authoritative inventory while remote sessions are launched either from the Devolutions Cloud web interface or from Remote Desktop Manager and Devolutions Password Manager. Combined with Devolutions Gateway, this enables just in time remote access to internal resources without exposing them directly to the internet. #### Related topics * [Remote management](https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/concepts/intermediate-concepts/remote-management) * [Web interface](/cloud/web-interface.md) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.devolutions.net/cloud/concepts/intermediate-concepts/remote-management.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
