DOCUMENT:Q198727 20-MAR-1999 [sms] TITLE :SMS: Remote Control Setting Registry Values Provided PRODUCT :Microsoft Systems Management Server PROD/VER:winnt:2.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbsms200 ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Systems Management Server version 2.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= Although the client-side Remote Control icon (Smsrc.cpl) in Control Panel is the preferred method for changing client-side Remote Control settings, it is still useful to know where the registry settings are located and what the default settings are. The following table includes settings for all the switches that direct Remote Control features available for a client computer. In nearly all cases, a value of 1 means that the feature is enabled; a value of 0 means that the feature is disabled. Registry Setting Default Value Notes Allow Chat 1 Allow File Transfer 1 Allow Ping Test 1 Allow Reboot 1 Allow Remote Execute 1 Allow Takeover 1 Allow DOS Diagnostics 1 Not used with Windows NT. Allow Windows Diagnostics 1 Not used with Windows NT.

Conversely, if the changes are made to the registry, ONLY WUSER32 on Windows NT systems will poll the changes and actively insert them into the agent. All other clients must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
