Looking over the following articles:
http://ask.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=126314&cid=10574052
and
http://snipurl.com/b7v0
The implications are that in a Domain environment, with the correct registry
settings on the domain computers:
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
Value Name: AllowRemoteRPC
Value Type: DWORD Value
Value Data: 1
One could initiate a shadow session with a domain member without permission
from the logged on user. This is accomplished (correct me if I am wrong) by
the following steps:
1. From a Windows XP/2003 computer in the domain, use remote desktop to
connect to any other Windows XP/2003 computer in the domain.
2. From the remote desktop, issue this command:
shadow 0 /server:COMPUTERNAME
(Where COMPUTERNAME is the NetBIOS name, IP or FQDN of the computer you
wish to connect to and help the user who is locally logged onto it.)
3. Shortly, you should have a shadow'd session with the third computer.
My understanding was that if the above was followed, it should work as
advertised.
I would like to ask if there are other caveats I left out or if there are
steps I took to the extreme?
For example:
- Is it necessary for the first computer you are remoting WITH to be in the
domain?
- If the user on the third (to be shadowed) computer is an administrator,
will they be asked for permission?
- Does "Offer Remote Assistance" also need to be enabled on the domain to
accomplish the shadow or does that have no bearing on the outcome?
My experience so far has been (admittedly, I just finally tried it today)
that even though I can offer remote assistance on my domain and it asks the
end-user for their permission - when I try the shadowing trick, it is still
asking the end-user for their permission.
Not that I see anything WRONG with the above scenario - in most cases,
asking permission is the way it likely should happen, for legal reasons.
However, I would like comments from people using the shadowing now without
it asking permission.
