Remote RDP Jump vs Remote Jump

Hey lto!

Remote Jump: An temp agent is pushed to the endpoint and gives you a “stood in front of the machine” console type experience. Needs an admin account on target machine.

Remote RDP is like RDP’ing to a machine, except you go via the Jumpoint and Access console.

• Remote Jump
  • You need full control or troubleshooting tools
  • RDP is unavailable or blocked
  • You want to interact with the active console session
• Remote RDP Jump 
  • You just need normal desktop/server access
  • You want multiple concurrent sessions

Remote Jump uses the same technology as a jump client, it just downloads the customer client temporarily on the endpoint (for the duration of the session).

If you need to connect to an endpoint that has jumpoint visibility, Remote Jump can be useful. 

Remote Jump startup is a little slower on startup, due to installing the customer client when the connection is made. Remote Jump needs to install this Customer Client every time you attempt the jump. The Remote Jump does remove the customer client from that endpoint once you disconnect, but you still have access to the shortcut in your console. 

Remote RDP is utilizing local RDP to access that endpoint through the jumpoint. You can use external tools while still leveraging BeyondTrust Reporting tools.
