Before you can use remote control in
System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, you must
perform the following configuration steps.
How to Enable Remote Control and
Configure Client Settings
This procedure describes configuring the default client
settings for remote control and applies to all computers in your
hierarchy. If you want these settings to apply to only some
computers, create a custom device client setting and assign it to a
collection that contains the computers that you want to use in a
remote control session. For more information about how to create
custom device settings, see
How to Create and Assign Custom Client Settings.
