About Remote DeskTop

[Alberto Brivio]

Dear All,

I would like to know if XP Remote DeskTop does permit to create a remote
connection in order to just take a look to a remote PC without taking
control (any key inactive), and if yes how?


Kind Regards

Alberto Brivio

Hi Alberto,

The only way to look at another PC without taking control and kicking the
user on the machine to the Logon screen is to use Remote Assistance.
This will allow you to see the users screen while they have control still.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Almost....

You can shadow a session, but this requires a third XP Pro box or a
Win2K3 server...
