Using Virtual Assist
Hey so i was going to try out virtual assist with one of my users but i cant seem to make it work.
from this document ( https://help.sonicwall.com/help/sw/eng/8112/8/0/0/content/Chapter2_Overview.03.26.html )
it appears that i just enable it on a particular user, and it shows up as a button on the portal. But i cant make it show up. Here are the settings i was able to find.
I dont see any other settings or a particular menu for this feature. I was going to try logmein but then i saw that i have a trial license of virtual assist so why not try that?
is there an operator manual for the SRA? i can only find the setup manual. An operators manual would probably cover this.

I thought SonicWALL were dumping Virtual Assist ? (sadly) we used to use it for "Adhoc" Remote Control... long enough to get our RMM agent in. We had a portal setup for it.
Just looking now and I can see its still in v.9 but I thought it was dumped in v.10

ok well um that does explain it... i am running version 10.2. Seems they didnt remove the settings, or licensing, sigh.
do you know if it is replaced with something else? or they just dropped this feature.
i used teamviewer for what i ahd to do this morning and it seemed to work fine.
Giggle... We started using Teamviewer to do that "adhoc" job too..
I kinda liked it though. We did have some issues with it from time to time. We still have a tile on our website that points to it (which I need to get rid of now).
I never got round to trying the Virtual Meeting feature but it looked like it also had some value.
I guess they never really invested in it all. So many other options around now.
I'm sure I read that they were dropping it somewhere. (i remember being somewhat disappointed). Cant seem to find it.
.. hang on... here it is
