Initiate a Remote Support Session
Via the interface
The Remote Computer Access section located on the right side is where a Support Agent initiates a new Remote Support Session.
To connect to a remote session, the agent will need the end-user's access details (ID and password). Please refer to the documentation section Share your screen for more information on sharing Access Details.
Enter the provided ID in the Remote ID input box. Then, click on the Connect button.
Via command line
If needed, you can also initiate a connection to a remote session via a command line directly, by specifying the end-user ID and password in the following command line:
RemoteSupport.exe /id <end-user-id> /password <end-user-password>
Access modes
Two access modes are available:
- "Remote Control" allows you to take control of the end-user's PC. This mode gives Support Agents control of the end-user's mouse, keyboard and other accesories and streams the session to the Agent's display.
- "Command Line" allows you to display a command prompt in the context of the remote session.*
* "Command Line" mode is only available if the remote computer have enabled unattended access.
Enter the password provided by the end-user and click Connect to initiate a Remote Control session.
Once the connection is established, the remote computer's active session will appear on the support agent's screen.
The menu on the right gives agents access to critical information about the end-user PC, as well as a chatbox to communicate with the end-user, file sharing, and other helpful support functions.
