Remote Tools and the SMS 2003 Server SMS Administrator Console and Site Server Remote Tools Launch

SMS Remote Control and the associated help desk tools are launched from the SMS Administrator console as part of Remote.exe. This application is launched from the SMS Administrator console when the Remote Tools option is selected for a computer. Remote.exe has a number of command-line options for defining the name or address of the remote client and thus is suitable for incorporating into a script or alternative management application.

The Windows XP Remote Assistance feature is launched from the SMS Administrator console using a customized URL. This behavior can be duplicated in a script or application to launch the Remote Assistance Web page in the context of a specific computer name or IP address.

SMS Site-Server Remote Tools Configuration

The configuration details for SMS clients in relation to SMS Tools can be fully configured by using the SMS Provider and the server schema classes. This enables all options exposed in the SMS Administrator console to be programmatically configured to be applied to all clients in the SMS site. For each site, an instance of the SMS_SCI_ClientComp class contains the Remote Tools configuration information. The following WMI query returns this single instance for a specific site code.

Select * from SMS_SCI_ClientComp where sitecode='AAA' and clientcomponentname='Remote Control'
