SMS: Remote Control Setting Registry Values Provided

• Microsoft Systems Management Server version 2.0

SUMMARY

Although the client-side Remote Control icon (Smsrc.cpl) in Control Panel is the preferred method for changing client-side Remote Control settings, it is still useful to know where the registry settings are located and what the default settings are.

The following table includes settings for all the switches that direct Remote Control features available for a client computer. In nearly all cases, a value of 1 means that the feature is enabled; a value of 0 means that the feature is disabled.

MORE INFORMATION

If the changes to the settings are made using Control Panel Remote Control, the new values are forcefully inserted into WUSER or WUSER32 (the running client Remote Control agent). Conversely, if the changes are made to the registry, ONLY WUSER32 on Windows NT systems will poll the changes and actively insert them into the agent. All other clients must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
