  • How can I remotely control another computer with Windows?

    An Internet Session is a connection between DRS installed on a technician's computer and a computer located outside of the network. Creating an Internet Session relies on the Internet Proxy component of the Dameware Central Server. Supporting users external to your network is only supported by Dameware Remote Support Centralized. The Internet Proxy is configured when Dameware Remote Support is installed.

    There are two main use cases for controlling another computer with Windows using Dameware. If you don’t expect to support an end user in the future, remotely control their computer by creating an attended Internet Session. Attended Internet Sessions last only as long as the active connection. When the session ends, the connection with the remote host is lost.

    For end users you expect to support in the future, you can connect to a remote host through an unattended Internet Session. After a user connects through an unattended Internet Session, their computer displays on the list of remote hosts in the Administration Console. With an unattended Internet Session, the connection between the Central Server and the remote host is maintained and the status of the remote host switches between offline and online.
