Remote control settings

Requirements: At least Microsoft Windows XP Terminal Services

Location: Computer Configuration\Windows Components\Terminal Services\


Description:
Sets rules for remote control of Terminal Services user sessions.

Use this setting to configure the level of remote control and permissions required from the user for remote control of Terminal Services user sessions. Remote control can be established with or without a user's permission. There are two levels of remote control: the View Session level, which only allows you to watch the user's session, or the Full Control level, in which you can interact with a user's session.

To use this setting, select one of the five options in the "Remote control" setting list. Click "No remote control allowed" to disable remote control completely.

By default, Terminal Services allows the "View Session upon permission granted by user" level of remote control.

If you enable this setting, administrators can remotely interact with a user's Terminal Services session according to the specified rules.

If you disable this setting or do not enable it, remote control rules will be determined by the server administrator.
