Run As Service

Run As Service

The Zoho Assist software can be run on the remote computer as an application or as a service. Run As Service will be enabled by default if the customer is using an Administrator account. The administrator privileges are denied to a standard account user when they run the software as an application. To acquire administrator privileges, the technician has to run the software as a service in the remote computer.

Running Zoho Assist as a service provides you with the following benefits

  • Reboot and reconnect to the session
  • Send Alt+Ctrl+Delt command to the remote computer
  • Reboot the system in safe mode
  • Allows the customer to switch user profiles without locking you out
  • Install and run other applications with administrator level privileges


Steps
  • Once the technician console opens up, go to Session > Run As Service.
  • Now a prompt will open up at both ends. The customer or the technician can enter the remote computer's credentials.




  • If there is a delay in entering the credentials, the following prompt will open up.



  • Click Try With UAC. Now the customer has to enter the credentials in the UAC dialog.The screen will be paused until he/she enters the computer credentials.
