Hello,
We just recently upgraded from DameWare Remote Control 7 to DRS 9 with DRC 10. I'm enjoying the potential here, but some features don't work without the DRS Client Agent service running on the remote machine.
This seems to be installed OK on some of our straggler Win XP workstations, but on Win 7 workstations, trying to use features like RCmd Console doesn't work, and the automatic service activation feature doesn't work, either.
I have just seen this howto for using the batch feature to install/activate the DRS agent service, and it worked when I tested it on some of the problem Win 7 workstations.
However, we'd much prefer to be able to activate this by Group Policy, so we don't need to micromanage workstations as we deploy them.
I've searched around through the MSI Builder settings for anything to add "install DRS client agent service" or "activate" it, and done my best with Google, too, but I can't figure out if there's a way to do this. Does anyone have a way to install & activate the DRS Client Agent service by Group Policy and/or MSI? We already have a policy set up to install the Mini Remote agent with a built MSI, and that works great.
Thanks!
