Webhint

The Remote tool includes a query parameter (/q) that displays a list of remote sessions on a particular computer. The display includes only visible sessions (debugger sessions started without the /-v parameter and non-debugger sessions started with the /v parameter). You can query for sessions from the server or client computers. Whether you need to access your work computer from home, view a file from your home computer while traveling, or share your screen with friends or colleagues, Chrome Remote Desktop connects you to your devices using the latest web technologies.

Here are three ways to start the remote control viewer:

• In the Configuration Manager console.

• In a Windows command prompt.

• From the Windows Start menu, on a computer that runs the Configuration Manager console, in the Microsoft Endpoint Manager program group.

  Note

  The above Start menu path is for versions from November 2019 (version 1910) or later. In earlier versions, the folder name is Microsoft System Center.

To remotely administer a client computer from the Configuration Manager console

1. In the Configuration Manager console, choose Assets and Compliance > Devices or Device Collections.

2. Select the computer that you want to remotely administer and then, in the Home tab, in the Device group, choose Start > Remote Control.

   Important

   If the client setting Prompt user for Remote Control permission is set to True, the connection does not initiate until the user at the remote computer agrees to the remote control prompt. For more information, see Configuring remote control.

3. After the Configuration Manager Remote Control window opens, you can remotely administer the client computer. Use the following options to configure the connection.

   Note

   If the computer that you connect to has multiple monitors, the display from all the monitors is shown in the remote control window.
