Takeover remote endpoints using ITSM
ITSM’s ‘Takeover’ feature allows administrators to remotely access and control Windows devices to solve issues, install third party software and perform system maintenance.
To take over a device:
This will open the takeover options menu:
ITSM will ask for permission to launch the agent on your computer. Click ‘Open Link’ to begin the connection process. Note – you can enable ‘Remember my choice for ccv links’ so you don’t have to see this dialog again:
Once connected, the client viewer interface will display the desktop of the remote computer:
Administrators can now interact with the target device to perform tasks as required.
The client interface contains the following settings and tools:
Send Ctrl + Alt + Del – Will send the Ctrl+Alt+Del keyboard combination to the remote machine to open the Windows security screen. This allows you to lock the computer, log off the current user, change passwords, view the task manager or shut down/restart/hibernate the machine.
Send Ctrl + Esc –Will open the Windows ‘Start’ menu, allowing you to launch subsequent tasks.
Full Screen, Fit to Width, Fit to Height, Fit to Origin– Change the preferred display of the remote desktop.
Options – Allows you to configure connection and display quality. Lower quality settings may be preferable if your connection is slow.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I need the (old) RMM Plug-in agent to take over a device?
No. You need only install the client viewer on your management machine (as shown above), and the ‘Comodo Client – Communication’ agent on target endpoints. The RMM plugin is approaching end-of-life, but you can still use it should you prefer.
Do I need any additional agents on my devices?
No, you only need to install ‘Comodo Client – Communication’ on endpoints.
Do I need to install “Comodo Client Viewer” on each machine that I manage?
No, “Comodo Client Viewer” need only be installed once on your admin machine. Afterward, you can use the takeover feature to remote desktop into any managed endpoint that has ‘Comodo Client – Communication’ agent installed.

How to inform endpoint about who connected during Comodo Remote Control session
Admins can configure the new “Remote Access” profile section to enable Comodo Remote Control to inform endpoint user about who were connected to his/her device and allows them to terminate the session if it is not a suitable time for remote connection.
Step 1: Go to ‘CONFIGURATION TEMPLATES’ → ‘Profiles’ and select a profile of the endpoint. After choosing the profile click ‘Add Profile Section’ on that select ‘Remote Access Software‘ option.
Step 2: Enable the option “Show notification to device user about who connected to his/her workstation and allow terminating the connection” then click ‘Save’ button.

How to use Comodo Remote Control for Multi-Monitors Support
Comodo Remote Control (CRC) now has multi-monitor support as well! Admins can now able to monitor dual screen at once, see only one screen like screen 1 or screen 2 and have the ability to change the selection during the remote session. With the help of this feature, now admins can utilize multiple monitor screens more efficiently by displaying multiple “remote monitors” simultaneously or switching between monitor screens as they prefer.

Step 1: Go to ‘Applications’ > ‘Device Management‘ and select ‘Device List’ from the ‘DEVICES’ menu and select desired machine to be taken in remote then click ‘Takeover’ icon and select the option ‘With Comodo Remote Control’
Step 2: If the Comodo Remote Control is not installed on your machine which is used to take the remote connection then follow the Step 1 of the alert window as given in the screenshot. If your machine already has the latest version of Comodo Remote Control then you can directly follow the Step 2 of the alert window as given in the screenshot. Also, allow the alert ‘Open CRControl Application?’ if present.
Step 3: There will be the option ‘Multi-Screens’ if the Computer has more than one monitor. Click the Multi-Screens drop-down to get and know about all required options as follow:
