Set remote control permissions in Windows 2008 Terminal Services

created by , 07. 03. 2012

You can adjust how administrators will be able to "shadow" a Terminal Services session. You can restrict a user to viewing a session only, or allow him to have full control of the keyboard and mouse. To adjust these settings through Terminal Services Configuration, follow these steps:

  • 4

    Click "Use Remote Control with the Following Settings" to configure remote control for the connection. Or, to disallow remote control, click Do Not Allow Remote Control.
