SYMPTOMS
The Remote Control Agent Permission dialog box on a client does not
display the machine name that initiates the Remote Control session. Remote
Control Agent displays the account name initiating the Remote Control
Session, which can be misleading to the user. Displaying the machine name
in addition to the user name would help identify exactly who is initiating
the remote control session.
For example, the dialog box currently displays the following message:
Will you allow 'SMSAdmin' to Remote Control your machine?
STATUS

Server version 1.2. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft
