Remote Control
The “Remote Control” plugin allows you to establish a remote desktop connection to a computer directly within SCCM Manager.
Connection Setup:
- The SCCM Manager client downloads the Remote Control Viewer / “CmRcViewer.exe” (Config Manager) locally on the client from which the SCCM Manager client was launched
- CmRcViewer.exe initiates a connection to the remote system via TCP port 2701
- After the session is established, the system checks whether the user has permissions to control the remote system.
Connection / Firewall:
Regardless of where SCCM Manager is installed or where CmRcViewer.exe is running, the connection is always:
Client (CmRcViewer.exe) → Remote System
