Remote control in Configuration Manager has external dependencies and dependencies in the product.
20

21
+
## Dependencies external to Configuration Manager
22
+
23
+
To help improve performance, install the most up-to-date video driver on client devices.
24
+
25
+
You can't use Configuration Manager remote control to remotely administer client computers that run versions of the Configuration Manager client earlier than current branch.
26
+
27
+
> [!NOTE]
28
+
> No Windows services are required as an external dependency for remote control.
29
+
30
+
### Supported operating systems for the remote control viewer
31
+
32
+
The remote control viewer is supported on all operating systems that are supported for the Configuration Manager console. For information, see [Supported configurations for Configuration Manager consoles](../../../plan-design/configs/supported-operating-systems-consoles.md).
33
+
34
+
The following OS versions don't support the remote control viewer, but they do support the remote control client:
35
+
36
+
- Windows Embedded
37
+
- Windows Embedded for Point of Service (POS)
38
+
- Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs
39
+
40
+
## Configuration Manager dependencies
41
+
42
+
### Enable remote control
43
+
44
+
By default, remote control isn't enabled when you install Configuration Manager. For more information about how to enable and configure remote control, see [Configure remote control](configuring-remote-control.md).
45
+
46
+
### Reporting
47
+
48
+
Before you can run reports for remote control, install the reporting services point site system role. For more information, see [Introduction to reporting](../../../servers/manage/introduction-to-reporting.md).
49
+
50
+
### Security permissions
51
+
52
+
- To access collection resources and to start a remote control session from the Configuration Manager console, your account needs the **Read**, **Read Resource**, and **Remote Control** permissions for the **Collection** object.
19
53
20
-
## Dependencies external to Configuration Manager
54
+
- The **Remote Tools Operator** security role includes the permissions that are required to manage remote control in Configuration Manager.

|----------------|----------------------|
24
-
|Computer video card driver|Ensure that the most up-to-date video driver is installed on client computers to ensure optimal remote control performance.|
56
+
- Permitted viewers must be given permission to use remote control by adding these users to the **Permitted viewers of Remote Control and Remote Assistance** list in the **Remote Tools** client settings.
25
57
26

Devices that run Windows Embedded, Windows Embedded for Point of Service (POS), and Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs do not support the remote control viewer, but they do support the remote control client.
58

For more information, see [Configure role-based administration](../../../servers/deploy/configure/configure-role-based-administration.md).

Remote tools aren't supported for clients that are connected remotely. For example, you can't remote control a client that communicates with the site through a cloud management gateway (CMG). For more information about the network ports required for remote tools, see [Ports used in Configuration Manager](../../../plan-design/hierarchy/ports.md#BKMK_PortsConsole-Client).

## <aname="bkmk_warehouse"></a> Exclude data warehouse reporting tables from synchronization
12
+
13
+
<!--12441118-->
14
+
15
+
When you install the [data warehouse](../../../../servers/manage/data-warehouse.md), it synchronizes a set of default tables from the site database. These tables are required for data warehouse reports. While troubleshooting issues, you may want to stop synchronizing these default tables. Starting in this release, you can exclude one or more of these required tables from synchronization.
16
+
17
+
### Try it out!
18
+
19
+
Try to complete the tasks. Then send [Feedback](../../../../understand/product-feedback.md) with your thoughts on the feature.
20
+
21
+
1. When you install or configure the properties of the data warehouse, on the **Synchronization settings** page, choose **Select tables**.
22
+
23
+
1. In the **Database tables** window, deselect one or more tables of type **Required**.
24
+
25
+
1. The console will prompt you to confirm the change, since some reports may no longer work correctly.
### Unable to install an existing console extensions after site upgrade
12
+
<!--12580525-->
13
+
14
+
After a site upgrade, console extensions that aren't built into Configuration Manager won't install for new consoles. If the extension was already installed on a console, that console may continue to use the extension.
15
+
#### Workaround
16
+
17
+
To work around this issue, [delete the extension](../../../../servers/manage/admin-console-extensions.md#about-the-console-extensions-node) from the **Console Extensions** node. Redownload the extension from Community hub or reimport the extension and enable notifications for it as needed.
## <aname="bkmk_ux"></a> Console and user experience improvements
12
+
<!--12726153-->
13
+
Based on your feedback, we’ve made a few improvements to the console and user experience.
14
+
15
+
- When using temporary device nodes, right-click device actions like **Run Scripts** are now available to make the experience in the console consistent
16
+
- For example, if you're in the **Client Health Dashboard** then select a specific version from the **Client Versions** chart, you're taken to a temporary node. The temporary node now has additional actions available from the right-click menu
17
+
- Copy/paste is available for more objects from details panes.
18
+
- Added the **Name** property in the details pane for configuration items, configuration item related policies, and applications
19
+
- Company portal no longer displays an available package as a featured application
20
+
- Software update search results and the search criteria are now cached when you navigate to another node. When you navigate back to the **All Software Updates** node, your search criteria and results are preserved from your last query.
## <aname="bkmk_maxruntime"></a> Customize maximum run time for other software update types
12
+
<!--12770887-->
13
+
Previously, software updates that didn't belong to the following update categories defaulted to a [maximum run time](../../../../../sum/plan-design/plan-for-software-updates.md#bkmk_maxruntime) of 60 minutes (or 10 minutes prior to version 2103):
14
+
- Windows feature updates
15
+
- Windows non-feature updates
16
+
- Office 365 updates
17
+
18
+
Starting in this technical preview, you can customize the maximum run time for all other software updates, which includes third-party updates.
19
+
20
+
### Try it out!
21
+
22
+
Try to complete the tasks. Then send [Feedback](../../../../understand/product-feedback.md) with your thoughts on the feature.
23
+
24
+
Change the maximum run time for all other software updates:
25
+
26
+
1. Go to **Administration** > **Overview** > **Site Configuration** > **Sites** then select the top-level site.
27
+
1. From the ribbon, select **Settings** > **Configure Site Components** > **Software Update Point** to open the **Software Update Point Component Properties**.
28
+
1. In the **Maximum Run Time** tab, change the following property to a value between 5 and 9999:
29
+
30
+
**Maximum run time for all other software updates outside these categories, such as third-party updates (minutes)**
31
+
32
+
> [!NOTE]
33
+
> The new run time for these updates only applies to updates that are newly synchronized after the change. Existing updates that have already been synchronized will not use this value.
## <aname="bkmk_cmgrc"></a> A new remote assistance tool
12
+
13
+
<!--4575930-->
14
+
15
+
As announced at Microsoft Ignite 2021, a public preview of the new remote assistance solution is now available in the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center. This cloud-based tool can help you more securely support users of Windows devices.
16
+
17
+
This new tool will be the solution for remote control of remote devices. While you can't currently start this tool from the Configuration Manager console, [tenant attach](../../../../../tenant-attach/device-sync-actions.md?toc=/mem/configmgr/cloud-attach/toc.json&bc=/mem/configmgr/cloud-attach/breadcrumb/toc.json) provides the mechanism to eventually provide these remote help capabilities.
18
+
19
+
With the release of this new tool, the Configuration Manager feature for remote control anywhere using cloud management gateway (CMG) won't be available in the next technical preview release.
