Sounds like you want LogMeIn Ignition. This is a client that you install on your computer that brings up all your accessible systems in a window. Keeps you from having to go to the web etc. We all use it here, made LogMeIn even that much better. You can add Ignition to your subscription for as little as $20 a year (just ask for the discount when you call them). Ignition works with Free and Pro clients, does not matter.<\/p>","upvoteCount":1,"datePublished":"2012-04-20T07:49:59.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/logmein-and-spiceworks/138719/13","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"derek-a","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/derek-a"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"

Well it only loops through your router interface, it doesn’t go out to the public Internet. The connections are always peer to peer, that’s how LMI works. So the speed is only bottlenecked by the hairpin at your router. It should not be traversing the WAN link.<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2012-04-20T12:49:14.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/logmein-and-spiceworks/138719/16","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"scottalanmiller","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/scottalanmiller"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"

Is there a LogMeIn plugin or something that would allow the remote control option of a device to use LogMeIn as a connection rather than RDP? I have logmein installed on all my workstations.
Would be very cool if it could. Save a step logging into the LogMeIn site

This what you are looking for?

EDIT: You may want to look at this one, too:

Are you using Logmein Rescue?
We are using LogMeIn FREE
Yeah there is no nice way of launching that. There is an integration with logmein rescue, and there is also a way to make it work with DameWare, but not logmein free, sorry.
what about LogMeIn Pro/Central?
I believe the second link that Michael posted above will work with pro/central
http://community.spiceworks.com/plugin/379
But there should be an extension already installed to handle logmein, I would give that a shot first.

That is the same as Free. They are all one. Only Rescue is a different product.

I don’t believe that there is any plugin that does what is needed. All of the plugins just open the web page. Not very useful. Especially for those of us with Central, Pro and Ignition. We’re already way beyond the point of “opening the web page”. What we need is one click to launch the remote session.
I love LogMeIn it is a great product for free. Just like Spiceworks is. What is needed is for LogMeIn to be able to remotely connect to your clients that are on your local LAN directly without going out to the internet and back.
Thanks for all the suggestions everyone.
The logmein plugin 379 helps. at least its a click out of the ticket and it opens the window for you. And if you have saved valid session creds in place LogMeIn central opens right up.
Will have to work until something better comes along

I think this is more what you are after. Works great, but requires setting up each machine, which for around 300 devices for me was just too much setup work
