3.4 Managing a Remote Diagnostics Session
Remote Management lets you to remotely diagnose and analyze the problems on the managed device. This helps you to shorten problem resolution times and assist users without requiring a technician to physically visit the problem device. This increases user productivity by keeping desktops up and running.
