Add Remote Desktop Control Troubleshooter scripts

Add Remote Desktop Control Troubleshooter scripts

Use this template to create a troubleshooting script for the Remote Desktop Control feature on Windows devices.

This script tests the following:

•
Terminal Services: To access a Windows device using Remote Desktop, Terminal Services must be running. This script verifies that Terminal Services is running.
•
Firewall Configuration: If the Windows Firewall is running on the device, the script tests for configurations that might block Remote Desktop Control requests.
1.
Go to the Remote Desktop Control Troubleshooter page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Scripting, then click Configuration Policies.
c.
On the Configuration Policies panel, in the Windows section, click Remote Desktop Control Troubleshooter.

Install Mirror Driver

Install the optional UltraVNC Mirror Video Driver.

Mirror Video Driver is a driver that allows faster and more accurate updates. It also makes a direct link between the video driver framebuffer memory and UltraWinVNC server.

Using the framebuffer directly eliminates the use of the CPU for intensive screen blitting, which can boost speed and reduce CPU load.

Install Viewer

Install the optional UltraVNC Viewer. Viewer is a tool used to connect to VNC servers and remotely view desktops. Install Viewer only if you need to initiate remote sessions from the managed device.

Disable tray icon

Prevent the UltraVNC tray icon from appearing on the device.

Disable client options in tray icon menu

Prevent client options from appearing in the tray icon menu on devices. This option is available only if Disable Tray Icon is enabled.

Disable properties panel

Disable the UltraVNC properties panel on devices.

Block end user from closing UltraVNC

Prevent device users to shut down WinVNC.

Password and Read Only Password

Provide password for authentication.

Require Windows Logon

Use Windows Logon authentication and export the ACL from your VNC® installation. Use MSLogonACL.exe /e acl.txt. Copy and paste the contents of the text file into the ACL field.

Encryption Key

Use key-based encryption. To use key-based encryption, create and upload a key:

1.
In the UltraVNC Viewer, select the MSRC4Plugin from the DSPLugin list.
2.
Click Config, then enter the full path where the key file will be placed.
3.
Click Gen Key, then upload the key file.
