A remote control session in Stealth Mode doesn’t display any visual indicator on the client machine.
The client is unaware that a remote control session is taking place.
By default, this mode is disabled in Goverlan Remote Control.
This article explains how to enable the Stealth Mode on one or more client machines.
Information
The Stealth mode option is configured on a per-client-machine basis. It can either be turned ON or OFF. If turned ON, every remote control session initiated on that machine is in Stealth mode.
You have four options for to configure this policy:
- The Goverlan GPO
- The Goverlan Reach Server
- Direct Registry Modification (should be used for testing purposes only)
- Goverlan Process Automation
GPO Method
You can find the Goverlan administrative GPO template in C:\Program Files\Goverlan Reach Console 9\GPO Templates.
You can import the ADMX files for domain controllers that are Server 2008 and above.
The GPO that you create must be linked to the OU that your user workstations and tech workstations are a member of.
Once you have the administrative template installed, create a GPO and configure the following setting:
Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Goverlan Global Policies > Remote Control Client Settings > Do Not Display Visual Notification
Goverlan Reach Server Method
After Installing and Advertising your Goverlan Reach Server, Click the Global Policies tab, then drag the Remote Control Client Side Configuration policy to the Policies section:
