A PSO is a password policy that is available in a Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Domain Controller. It is more granular than Active Directory group policy because it is applied to a particular user or group. Group Policy Objects (GPO) sre applied to an entire organizational unit (OU). You may try to apply several PSOs to a person, but one will take precedence. The one with the lowest number will be the policy applied. To use the features in this video, you must promote your domain to a Server 2008 level.

Remote Assistance
This is a video on how to use remote assistance. It’s a program built into windows. Unlike remote desktop, it allows the person you are helping to see the screen at the same time. remote desktop will lock out local users. XP was the first version of windows to have remote assistance. Every version since has had a copy of remote assistance. It will incorporate with Microsoft email programs to make it easier or you can save it as a file and then use your own email program to send the file. & also has a feature called Easy Connect, but that doesn’t always work.
