we are moving some customers/colleague to also use Windows 365 and of course sometimes they might need some support. 

The situation is that the majority of our staff and also IT levels do not have admin rights at all on their workstations as the workstations and W365 are full Intune managed and in Autopilot USER-Mode. 

The way we currently do support and where admin level is required is to use BTRS to take over the device and elevate prompts through the magic wand options. 

The problem arises with Windows 365. The agent runs fine on the background and we see it also active in the representative consol, however when using the JUMP to access the workstation, the user is not getting any prompts to allow the representative access to the workstation most likely due to the nature of W365 being basically an RDP session. I've tried doing it the other way around by sending a code to the user and they key this in in the session URL and then we do get access to the device, however this is limited and we do not have the ability to elevate any prompts like cmd. 

 

Hello ​@edwinb77,

Out of Curiosity, have you tried using a Support Button on the Client computer, where they initiate the session via support button? 

Basing this off of: KB0020925

“Does Jump Client work with Windows 365?

Service mode jump clients intentionally interact with Session0 of a host. As a result, service mode clients will interact with the underlying console session on the system hosting the Virtual Desktop, rather than the non-console session of Virtual Desktop.

An alternative to pinning a client would be to rely on a support button that can be installed for the end user to leverage starting ad-hoc sessions. Refer to the Support Buttons Guide for further information.”


Thanks, that works partially, I was able to deploy the support button through Intune managed apps and it installed succesfully. I can indeed make a session connection between the user screen and the webconsole by sharing the access key, however the problem remains for us that since all our pc's and W365 are in User_Mode with no admin and the only way to get admin access is through the elevated prompt options  that we can use which we know is possible when running the dedicated agent.
