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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>探花大神 Admins can initiate a Remote Assist session from the 探花大神 Admin Portal.

Having Remote Assist available for everyone ensures that initiating a remote session to help troubleshoot and resolve issues on an end user&#8217;s device is always an option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.&nbsp;The Remote Assist app is launched automatically after initiating Prompted Assist and Silent Assist session types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-notification-card-wysiwyg notification-card note\"><div class=\"notification-card-content\"><div class=\"notification-card-icon\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/jumpcloud\/assets\/images\/gutenberg-blocks\/note-icon.png\" \/><\/p><\/div><div class=\"notification-card-copy is-type-body-default\"><div><strong class=\"notification-card-type\">Note:<\/strong> \n<p>Establishing a remote session only communicates outbound.
