Creating Remote Assistence by Command-Line

External Since: Oct 13, 2008 Posts: 2

Hello guys!
I would like to know how to create a remote assistence by command-line in
Windows XP instead creating by standard procedure (Start-Help and
Support-Invite a friend to connect to...).
I know in Windows Vista there is "msra.exe" utility and I would like to know
if in Windows XP there is something like this.

I don't think you can do that easily particularly in a work group
environment. Here are some links that may, or may not, be of help. These
seem to revolve around "offer" functionality in a domain environment.

In a Windows XP work group environment I have this small page that may be of
interest...
