The settings specified in this article may be hidden in Kaspersky Thin Client.

In the Kaspersky Thin Client interface, you can configure the following remote management settings:

• Remote management access mode.

  Defines the conditions and procedure for connecting to a thin client.

• The mode of access to the remote session running on the thin client when the connection to it is established (hereinafter also referred to as the "remote environment screen").
