Remote Assistance or Microsoft Remote Assistance is a feature not only in Microsoft Windows 7 but other Microsoft Windows operating systems as well from Microsoft Windows XP and higher. It allows a user to temporarily view and control a remote computer running on Microsoft Windows, frequently over the internet, to fix problems without literally touching the unit.

It is based on RDP or Remote Desktop Protocol. Remote Assistance in Windows Vista is based on RDP 6 and Windows Desktop Sharing API. This version of the Remote Assistance is a standalone program that doesn’t use the Windows Messenger or the Windows Help and Support Center. This allows two systems administrators to connect simultaneously to a single computer.

Remote Assistance in Windows 7 is based on RDP 7 and uses Peer Name Resolution Protocol when connecting using the Easy Connect option. With Easy Connect, you don’t need an invitation file to initiate a session. You only need a password and two computers to start a peer-to-peer connection over the internet or local area network without the need of a relay server.
