We dont have AD at my work but I have been asked to see if its possible to find a registry script (that can be exported or a logon script - From the PDC to XP clients) to turn on the gpedit.msc option of “offer remote assistance”.

It looks like we are about 1 year from AD and If could get the registry key to turn on the “offer remote assistance”, I could have that as a login script to apply to all my users and this would help the helpdesk and myself tremendiously. Please please please. If you knwo a way of turning this on in the registry I would be really grateful.

Please email me if you have any ideas how to turn this on when I dont have AD.

Thank you,
Jason.

Found a link which seems to provide the answer you want (Have also emailed it to you)

Enable Remote Assistance (Windows XP)
The Remote Assistance feature is a convenient way for an administrator to remotely connect to a computer and with permission view the screen, move the mouse, use the keyboard and chat online.

Open you registry and find the key below.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet \Control \Terminal Server]

To Enable Remote Assitance
Create or modify the following DWORD values:
# AllowTSConnections set it to “1″
# fDenyTSConnections set it to “0″
# fAllowToGetHelp set it to “1″

To Disable Remote Assitance
Create or modify the following DWORD values:
# AllowTSConnections set it to “0″
# fDenyTSConnections set it to “1″
# fAllowToGetHelp set it to “0″

Restart Windows for the changes to take effect.
