Guest Adam Hann Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Dear All, Please help. I have a windows 2003 server domain and would like the ability to remote into clients PC'S with them still logged in and work / help while they watch. Can windows remote do this (I think not) or is there a better method to do it. Regards Adam

You cannot do it with Remote Desktop. Whether the machines are in a Domain or Workgroup environment is irrelevant.
Guest Ron Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Re: Remote Desktop on a Domain If the user PCs are XP SP2 or higher: In the run box type this: ===================== %windir%\explorer.exe "hcp://CN=Microsoft%20Corporation,L=Redmond,S=Washington,C=US/Remote%20Assistance/Escalation/Unsolicited/Unsolicitedrcui.htm" ==================== All on one line of course. Then just put in the hostname or ip address. I think you need to have Remote Assistance allowed on the users PC. Switch this on with a GPO config.

Guest Scott Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Re: Remote Desktop on a Domain I use Remote Desktop to get to the server, and from there I use RealVNC to remote to each workstation. You can save the file so that you don't have to re-enter the host machine information, and you have an interactive environment with the workstation user. You can have many of these windows open at once, and since you are already inside the network you don't need to pay for the version with security. However, if you want to access any Vista machines you will need to at least purchase the personal version of their software, as the free version does not work properly on Vista - last I checked.
