Custom Extensions

Custom extensions provide Live Connect users with a repository for uploading executables to the VSA. Stored executables can then be downloaded and executed during a remote control session using just a single click. This includes 'non-executables' such as MSI installation files and Powershell scripts.

  • If a remote control session is started, the executable runs under the user account associated with that remote control session.
  • If a remote control session is not started, the executable runs under the system account.
  • An executable can also be "run as administrator". In this case the executable is run as a service account, even if a remote control session is in progress.

Procedure

  1. Start a Live Connect session using any agent.
  2. Add a new tab to display the Asset Browser ('Start a new session') window, listing all the machines you are authorized to manage.

Click the "puzzle piece" icon on the far right of the control bar.
