I was guessing that Remote Assistance would be the proposed alternative so
thanks for confirming it.

 

Sometimes the lack of reasoning provided by Microsoft is extremely
frustrating.  Us logical folk are usually happy with a change if we
understand (and somewhat agree with) why it was done.

Unfortunately Shadowing was removed.  Some people blame Citrix and some
blame MS but Citrix had nothing to do with the removal of Shadowing.  Citrix
is also forced to use Remote Assistance for both XenApp and XenDesktop.
There has been a lot of weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth about this
but MS hasn’t changed anything.

 

If your users use multiple monitors, you can’t use shadowing for that
scenario either.  MS says to use Remote Assistance.  With the wide spread
adoption of multiple monitor use in business, I don’t understand the lack of
shadowing support for multiple monitors.  I am sure there is a technological
reason behind these decisions to drop Shadow support.  But with the
programming brain power that MS has available to them, I don’t understand
why they can’t solve this issue.

 

I am no longer a developer, and don’t play one on TV, so I have no idea of
the challenges involved with providing Shadow support in multi monitor
scenarios or in Server 2012/Win8.

 

Thanks

Thanks Rene but I’m referring to Remote Controlling a user’s remote desktop
session on a remote desktop session host.

>From what I read you need to enable it.

 

"Enabling Remote Desktop:

you need to log on as an administrator

open System in Control Panel

select the Remote tab

under Remote Desktop select the checkbox labeled "Allow users to connect
remotely to this computer."

There is no Remote Control and a quick search says that this feature has
been removed!

Seriously?  Please someone tell me this isn’t the case! 

I sure can’t find the option anywhere.
