| | Remote Desktop and RA questions When I RD to another computer, I see that the computer asks the current user to accept the request and then it locks them out of their current session while the RD session takes place. I'm logging in to their machine under the Administrator account. Couple of questions: 1) Am I able to install software on their machine for a specific user only instead of all users since I'll be logged in under Administrator? 2) I thought I could be logged in to their machine using RD "in the background" while they were still using their session? 3) I've got my remote people under the Standard User account. Is there any way to offer them any type of remote assistance whereby I can put in the Administrative password when prompted by UAC? Basically my needs are: 1) to help the users from time to time via some kind of remote control and, 2) since they're running under Standard User permissions and cannot install software, i'd like to be able to remotely take care of this without them knowing the Administrative password. Thanks. All thoughts, comments, ideas, etc. appreciated. |

| | Re: Remote Desktop and RA questions 1. To restrict specific users, create a group policy. Or simple assign permission to executable file. 2.
