How can you use SMS Remote Control, without a clients permission

When you use SMS Remote Control, and the client is NOT present to respond to the ‘permission’ prompt, you have a problem. When the client is a server with no one logged on, you clearly need a solution.

You can use Regedt32 on the client, to navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftSMSClientClient ComponentsRemote Control.

Edit or Add Value name Permission Required, and set the data value to 0.

If you are doing this for selected clients, such as server computers, you should set the UpdateEnabled value to NO, to prevent the Permission Required value from being reset when security munging forces site-wide settings to client computers.
