Remote Desktop Session Shadowing Mode in Windows 10
Raw
Get-ShadowBox.ps1
#Inspired by http://woshub.com/rdp-session-shadow-to-windows-10-user/
#You could feed ConvertFrom-String a template to have a perfect object from the qwinsta.exe command, but I didn't want to
#have to keep the template file around.
#This is quicker than walking someone through Quick Assist, but QA will work over the internet.
#This command will shadow a user's Windows 10 system and you will have control (after remote user's consent if you are proper - see GPO in the link).
