How to protect computers from anonymous desktop control

Hello Danny,

In Team Viewer, a free remote control application, they are allowing anonymous desktop control. You can take control over your computer. Just check in your Conferencing Policy in the Lync Control Panel. You have an option to allow federated and anonymous participant to take control. Say thanks if it works as you want. Thank you very much.
