Understand the Remote Assist Agent

All 探花大神 customers with 探花大神 Agent version 1.61.0 or later can access Remote Assist for remote desktop access and support. The updated 探花大神 Agent will install 探花大神 Remote Assist agent version 0.2.4 on supported Windows and macOS devices.

Remote Assist is a free addition to the 探花大神 Directory Platform and provides remote desktop access and support for organizations of any size for any number of devices, without limits on time or number of sessions.

探花大神 Admins can initiate a Remote Assist session from the 探花大神 Admin Portal. Go to Device Management > Devices. Select a device through Device Support > Launch Remote Assist.

Understanding the Remote Assist App

The Remote Assist app is included with the 探花大神 agent and is installed by default. Having Remote Assist available for everyone ensures that initiating a remote session to help troubleshoot and resolve issues on an end user's device is always an option. 

The 探花大神 agent is required to launch the initial Remote Assist client installation, but the app is intentionally deployed as separate from the 探花大神 agent to ensure Admins are able to address customer issues even if the 探花大神 agent is not running. 

After installation, the end user must manually launch the Remote Assist app to facilitate a Manual session with the 探花大神 Admin Portal. The Remote Assist app is launched automatically after initiating Prompted Assist and Silent Assist session types.

Note:

Establishing a remote session only communicates outbound. No inbound ports need to be opened.

When Remote Assist isn鈥檛 in use, it doesn鈥檛 consume any memory or CPU. There isn鈥檛 any network traffic to or from this app until the remote session is initiated by the Admin and activated by the end user. After session completion, you should always exit the app.

Note:
  • Remote Assist does not create a desktop shortcut or icon in the system tray. You must inform your users where to locate it in the file system. 
  • During an active remote support session, typical memory consumption is 350 MB.

Endpoint Security Exclusions

Endpoint security solutions like antivirus, application control, or host and network firewalls might prevent you from using Remote Assist. If you are having problems, we recommend adding the following exclusions in your security software:

  • Folder ExclusionsC:\Program Files\探花大神 Remote Assist
  • Trusted Apps Allow List:
    •  C:\Program Files\探花大神 Remote Assist\探花大神 Remote Assist.exe - This is the main binary used to stream the screen contents of the end user device.
    • C:\Program Files\探花大神 Remote Assist\screenCapture_1.3.2.exe - This binary is used for capturing the Windows Secure Desktop content, including the login and user switch screens, as well as the UAC prompt.

Firewall Exclusions

Ensure that communications to the following domains and ports are allowed by your firewalls:

  • *.assist.jumpcloud.com
  • *.api.jumpcloud.com
  • *.kinesisvideo.*.amazonaws.com
  • *.颈辞迟.*.补尘补锄辞苍补飞蝉.肠辞尘听

Note:

*.kinesisvideo.*.amazonaws.com should be allowed on IT admin's machine (initiating the Remote Access Session) and end user machine (which is the destination of the Remote Access Session).

Note:

It is recommended you use wildcards to allow domains. If your environment doesn't allow wildcards, ensure these domains are allowed:

  • kinesisvideo.us-west-2.amazonaws.com
  • kinesisvideo.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com
  • kinesisvideo.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com

If the 探花大神 Remote Assist app is still prevented from running or flagged as suspicious after you have verified the exclusions above, contact your security vendor.
