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.

security template and analysis

The Security Template and Analysis Snap-in (MMC) allows you to compare a security template and the current computer’s security policy. It will make a database to show the difference and then allow you to decide if you want to import the settings from the template into the current local settings. It shows an X where the template conflicts with the local policy. I perform this on Server 2008, but it is available on Server 2000, 2003, Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, and 7.
