| | lock screen when Remote Assistance session ends Hi - I have 2 questions. Does anyone know how to configure Vista so that if a Remote Assistance session end ths client being remotely controlled screen locks? Secondly - do you know how to configure the remotely assisted Vista desktop to automatically allow the remote controller UAC control? (the remote controller user will be a member of the local admin group on the controlled PC.) Thanks in advance. |

| | Re: lock screen when Remote Assistance session ends I would create a logoff script for the user account used to remote in (in gpedit.msc). It would run the screensaver with the option to lock (??.scr) or just run the lock workstation command. %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation -- Was this helpful?

| | Re: lock screen when Remote Assistance session ends Cheers Mark. will have a think about that... Any ideas on the default UAC, prompts the remote user, the one to be supported to tick that box each time you make a remote connection? looking a replacement for VNC, as mentioned would like to utilise all the built in capabilities in Vista....

| | Re: lock screen when Remote Assistance session ends Thanks for that.. I know where you are coming from, we use a product called WebEx for this sort of thing... its very good too... VNC on Vista isnt too good which is why I am asking for this... I need to be able to support W2k, XP and Vista clients. Other technet links have some good reasons why not to disable UAC when remote assisting. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937803 and you guys have given me some great ideas too.. Cheers. Its a support/helpdesk environment, except we cant risk for the engineer to be remotely controlling a user, that user wonders off and the engineer looses or breaks the connection leaving the remote computer still accessible..... |
