    - Getting help
  - Remote control sessions
    Use remote control sessions to establish a connection to a computer in your environment to observe or actively control the computer remotely. In the session the controller user's keyboard and mouse become the primary keyboard and mouse for the remote system. Functions such as chat, guidance, reboot, and file transfer are some of the options available for use in a remote control session.
  - Using the controller interface as a controller user
  - Use remote control commands from the command line
    You can install tools that you can use to start a remote control session from the command line. You can also use the tools to run a command on a target and see the output of the command on your computer.
  - Configuring global controller properties
    Edit the trc_controller.cfg file to create and configure global controller properties. The properties are used by the BigFix® Remote Control controller component during a peer to peer remote control session. The property values are the same for every user who runs the controller.
  - Auditing
    Remote control session events are saved for auditing purposes if the AuditToSystem policy is enabled for the session.
  - Ensuring that current data is reported
  - Error messages
    In most of cases, connectivity problems that are experienced in BigFix® Remote Control are related to the surrounding network infrastructure. Error messages in BigFix Remote Control help to pin point these problems.
  - Session resilience for sessions that are connected by using a broker
    During a remote control session that is connected by using a broker, when connection failure is detected, reconnection to the session is attempted automatically. The controller user and target user are informed of what is happening with the session connection through various message windows.
  - Smart card status messages
    The following status messages can be displayed on the controller during a remote control session in which smart card authentication is enabled. A Hide button is displayed on some of the message windows. Click Hide to minimize the message window and continue in the session.
  - Keyboard shortcuts for the BigFix® Remote Control Target for macOS
    During a remote control session with a BigFix® Remote Control Target for macOS, you can inject the following keyboard shortcuts. The shortcuts are displayed in the Perform Action in Target menu in the controller UI.
