As soon as this happened, Remote Control worked without prompting the User for permission.Docs. Now you can force again a Policy Update on the Client, which in my case flipped the Registry Value finally to 0.

Open the Configuration Manager Control Panel Applet and execute the “Machine Policy Retrieval & Evaluation Cycle”. The next step is to force a Policy Update on the Client itself. Because I work with Include Collection, I created a new Collection with just this Client in it and added this Collection via Exclude Collection. The solution here was actually quite simple.įirst, I removed the Client from the Collection, where the Remote Control Client Setting is deployed to. In my case, this setting was set to 1, instead of 0.

In some scenarios however, you want to allow Remote Control Access without the Users Permission.Īs said, the Client didn’t apply this Setting and kept prompting if an Admin tried to use Remote Control. Normally you want to let this setting on its default value Yes, meaning the user has to Confirm the Remote Control Access. This means a Helpdesk Employee can use Remote Control without the user’s permission.

This particular Client didn’t apply the Setting Prompt user for Remote Control permission from the Remote Tools Section of the Client Settings.Īs you can see on the Screenshot above, the setting is set to No. Today I had an interesting issue on one of my Clients.
