- Enable the setting “set rules for remote control of Remote Desktop Services user sessions” and select the option for “Full Control without user’s permission” in the dropdown.
- Reboot the server to make the group policy take effect (or open elevated command prompt and type in gpupdate.exe /force)
- Then using the same command as in the section above add “/noconsentprompt” like this:
