The Default Client Settings in Configuration Manager apply to ALL users and ALL devices.
While Custom Client settings can be configured that override the Default Client Settings. One typical use could be if you want to configure remote tools to enable remote control on a few client computers so that you could turn on remote desktop to help users that are located in remote offices. Please note: Be sure the firewall is enabled on your Windows 10 machine, or the procedure could fail.
In this lecture, we will complete the following:
- Test remote control on a device
- Demonstrate why remote control didn't work
- Create a device collection
- Create Custom Client Device Settings, and configure remote Tools.
- Deploy Client Settings to Devices
- Test Remote Control feature
Testing a Device
- Open Configuration Manager, from the workspace click Assets and Compliance, from the Navigation Pane Click devices.
- Click in this example SAWS01-NEW, from the Ribbon click Start, then click Remote Control. The Configuration Manager Remote Control Screen is displayed. Notice the error. This error is normal if the Remote Control feature is disabled.
Why Remote Desktop won’t work
- From SAWS01-NEW, open Control Panel, System, Click remote settings. By default, Remote Desktop is turned off.
- Problem:
If you had 50 computers located in a remote site, how would you enable remote desktop or remote assistance on all 50 computers?
I’ll demonstrate how to solve that problem.
Creating our Device Collection
- Open Configuration Manager, from the workspace, click Assets and Compliance, from the Navigation Pane, right-click Device Collections, click create a Device Collection.
- From the Create Device Collection Wizard, Name type Remote Control for Desktops, from Limiting Collection, click Browse, click ALL Systems, click ok, then click next.
- From add rule, click direct rule, click next
- From Resource Class, select System Resources. From Attribute Name, select Name. From value, type the % sign, click next.
- From Select Resources, in this case, click SAWS01-NEW, click next, click next again, then click close. Click next 2x, then click close.
Creating Custom Client Device Settings
- From the Workspace, click Administration, from the Navigation Pane, right-click Client Settings, click Create Custom Client Device Settings.
- From the General screen, type a name – Remote Desktop, then click Remote Tools, then click ok
