Hi,
I can start a remote assistance connection OK, but when the Remote
Assistance window opens I can only view the other person's desktop. The
Take
Control button and all the others are missing.
Anyone ever seen this and resolved it? If so, how?
Thanks,
Its possible their PC has a group policy set to only allow the Expert
(that's you) to view their desktop and not take control. On their PC and as
an administrator go to "Start -> Run" and type gpedit.msc to open the group
policy editor. Navigate to the "Local Computer Policy -> Computer
Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> System ->
Remote Assistance" tree and check the properties for the "Solicited Remote
Assistance Policy".
If their PC is part of a domain environment (ie. not a stand alone PC in a
home work group environment) they may need to talk to the network
administrators about this.
