If I have a user on the phone I can walk the biggest ID10T I have sending me a Remote Assistance in under 60 seconds and since there's a time out on the invitation there's no issue with privacy. AND it's built in - no new versions, no other issues it just works 100% of the time.

At this point, once VNC is installed, all a user has to do is call me and tell me "I'm having trouble with x, can you take a look?" I then launch VNC Viewer, log into their desktop and see what's going on. :-) No action required on their part. :-) Not to mention it can also be used to spy on users... I've had to do that for HR at a previous employer. I had real mixed emotions on that one.... -----Original Message----- From: Joseph L.
