Summary

NetSupport integrates with Microsoft’s Active Directory structure enabling you to centrally manage Client configurations and launch remote control sessions. By creating an appropriate Group Policy you can apply standardised Client Configurations to Client machines without the need to visit individual desktops.

To make the task a little easier NetSupport supplies a ready-made Administrative Template, NSMPOLICY.ADM, containing the configurable options. When you install NetSupport the template is copied to the NetSupport Manager program folder.

However to enable certain configurations at the Client using the NetSupport ADM Template file you are required to enter a encrypted value, for example the Client Security Key policy requires the encrypted security key to be entered. When configuring this through the ADM Template file you cannot enter the security key in plain text this would not be recognized by the Client and so you have to enter the encrypted security key value to the security key policy.

In order to generate the encrypted values NetSupport has created a utility called the NetSupport Encryption Utility, which is available on the NetSupport Manager CD within the Utilities folder or alternatively you can contact NetSupport Technical Support.
