 Remote Assistance is configurable using Group Policy and supports command-line switches so that custom shortcuts can be deployed.In Windows 7, Remote Assistance is based on RDP 7 and uses Peer Name Resolution Protocol when connecting using the "Easy Connect" option.With "Easy Connect", only a password needs to be shared instead of an "invitation file", and two computers can establish a peer-to-peer connection over the Local Area Network (LAN) or the Internet without a relay server.
