How to set Remote Assistance Invitation to never expire |
|
|
I have two questions:
1. Is it possible to create an invitation file that is set to never expire?
2. If not, is there an easy way to script the process so that in one
click/action the invitation is automatically created/generate and saved/sent
to the same specific person each time?
I wish to setup a directory of invitations, one from every computer user/pc
that when they have an issue, I can easily go to that directory and open
thier specific, non-expiring invitation and iniate a connection. If this is
not possible, then I wish to have a simple shortcut/scipt on their desktop
that they launch that will automatically, with no user input, send me an
invitation. Anyone know how to accomplish this? |

I don't know how to do #1, nor, really, #2. I think #2 could be cut to a
few steps--create invitation, save to file, run batch process to either
command-line-mailer said file, or move said file to network drive.
If you are in a domain, you can use the "offer remote assistance" process
and do away with the invitations altogether if your "expert" is an
administrator.

No 1....No, the maximum period is 99 days. That seems to be hard coded into the OS.
No 2...Here is one way to do that.

Sorry, I wasn't very specific on number 2. I was hoping to create a script
that would generate the invitation file based on the current time, date,
user and activate the registry to allow the connection. Basically all the
steps the wizard does.
I will look into how to offer remote assistance, as that might be the best
option I have. Thanks.

I think your right about the "Offer" functionality...
Good luck...
