    Hi

    I got some users that need to use remote control to another computer in the domain.
    Have read that it is possible to use remote control function from SCCM without installing the console on the client computer.
    Do anyone have any suggestions on how this would work? Possible a link to how to set it up.
    Would like to configure it in a way that the user that takes controll only have access to the computer that the user needs controll and not every computer in the system.

    rc.exe is a completely stand-al9one app that can be copied around freely. By default rc.exe will not enforce any permissions set in the console. To do this, you must specify the site server on command line -- run rc.exe /? for the command line options.

    Hi

    Thanks. Have tested the rc.exe and worked. Would like to set some restriction on this, as I understand i can point to my sccm server and then the restriction set on the server will come into play??

    Yes, as I said, you set this from the command line. Run "rc.exe /?" from a command-line to see the command-line options. To enforce the use of the command-line option, you will have to create some type of wrapper program or script.
