You will be able to shadow / control remote sessions by using the session manager located in the AdminTool\HOME tile instead of the task manager.


If you wish to remove the consent for shadowing a session you can use this group policy :

  1. Open Group Policy Editor (Gpedit.msc) on the server that is running TSplus.
  2. Under Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Connections.
  3. Right-click "Set rules for remote control of Remote Desktop Services user sessions", and then click Properties.
  4. Select the Enabled option.
  5. Under Options, click "Full Control without user's permission".
  6. Click OK, and then quit Group Policy Editor.


To update the local policy immediately afterward, go to a command prompt and run the following command :


gpupdate /force



Now that the domain/local policy allows administrators to shadow/take control of users remote sessions, the administrator can start shadowing/taking control of the wanted remote session from the AdminTool\SESSION MANAGER menu without need for the user's consent :
