Interact with the Remote Session

While connected to a remote session using the "Remote Control" access mode, information and administration tools are available on the right side of the shared screen.

A quick breakdown of the tools available to support agents:

Capture UAC Screens

Request a remote client restart as an Administrator to capture future UAC screens.

You will be asked first to provide Administrator credentials.
Important: the user sharing his session will then need to allow the application to be restarted as an Administrator through an UAC prompt.
please note that you won't be able to allow the application yourself. Only the user sharing his session can authorize it through the UAC prompt in this situation.

More information on UAC screens is available on this page.
