There is no such thing as "Microsoft's Remote Control". There are 2 built in remote technologies: "Remote Desktop" and "Remote Assistance" Remote Desktop will require the remote machine's user to be logged out while you take control. With Remote Assistance the user has to acknowledge that you are taking control of their "session" and you can move their mouse around and send keystrokes. HTH

Is there a way to use Microsoft's built in RDP without forcing the online user off? Also, does anybody have any good RDP/VNC "monitoring" programs? Something that will keep a list of machines, and make it easy for me to connect? I have seen VNCScan and tried VNC Neighborhood, which is okay, but I haven't seen one for Microsoft's Remote Control. --Matt ----- Original Message ----- From: Christopher Boggs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed, 21 May 2008 07:00:20 -0700 Subject: RE: Remote Control Application > With remote assistance, yes, but not with remote desktop. > > > > With Remote Assistance, you can set up unsolicited offers so that you > can offer to take control but they always have to OK it, as far as I > know. > > > > ________________________________ > > From: David Mazzaccaro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 8:48 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: RE: Remote Control Application > > > > Is it true that with Microsoft's remote assistance, the user on the > remote computer always has to initiate the connection? > > As with UltraVNC, I can remote connect to any computer with or without > the end user being there. > > > > > > ________________________________ > > From: Edwards, David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 9:32 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: RE: Remote Control Application > > > > Assuming you have VPN or some sort of remote connectivity to their > network, RDP works great.
