Use Remote Help
Now that we have enabled the tool in the admin console and deployed the application to our devices, we can provide our users with remote support using the tool.
In the Microsoft Endpoint Manager Admin Console navigate to the device, click on the ellipse, and select the New remote assistance session and select the Launch remote help (Alternatively you can also open the Remote Help from the Start Menu)
The remote help will open, and you will need to sign.
Ask the user to open the remote help from the start menu and sign in.
The Support Admin will click on Get a security code
Once the security code is generated give the code to the user to enter in the remote help tool. The user will be prompted to allow the session and have the choice of allowing full control or just screen viewing. Once the user make a selection the session will connect and the support admin can proceed with the remote assistance.
The support admin will be able to select a specific monitor, if more than one is connected, open task manager, pause and end the session from the menu in the top right.
