[6.6.1] Windows Remote Assistance Client Functionality?

https://www.s-code.com/forum/Topic3031.aspx

I use SmartCode VNC Manager everyday for work and love it. I have several roles in my current position and have just implemented Windows Remote Assistance to try and make some of the desktop support issues easier to deal with.  I was wondering if there were any plans to implement the functionality of the Windows Remote Assistance client into VNC Manager (Windows 7 - C:\Windows\system32\msra.exe). It looks to be a type of Windows Remote Desktop.  It would be a huge help especially with integration into Active Directory.

Thanx,

Hi Douglas,
I'll add your request to the product backlog so we could review it when picking features for the v6.0 release.

And since you mentioned the Active Directory integration, in the v6.0 it will be possible to add an AD and browse its OUs and computers, the same way you do it with the Registered Groups/Computers. It will be possible to assign settings to AD computers. In case if computer gets moved between OUs, the VNC Manager will still be able to access the computer's settings. This is just one of the "cool" features that we are planning to implement in the v6.0.

Just checking to see if the Windows Remote Assistance client functionality was still on the list.

Thanks

It's still on the list. It will be available in the v6.5 along with the active directory integration that was mentioned couple posts above.

With 6.5 being released, I'm assuming this feature got pushed back to a later release. Any idea as to a timeframe?

Thanks

It's going to be included in one of the 6.5.x builds.

I apologize about the delay.
