Remote support offers a lot of great capabilities and convenience, however this type of support does have substantial limitations. Many providers claim that just about any issue can be resolved remotely, and unfortunately this simply isn’t the case. Many critical and fundamental hardware components can only be properly tested by powering down the system and booting to special diagnostic tools or removing/testing hardware components. Often, hands on access to a computer is needed for proper evaluation and repair. For example, in cases where data recovery is needed, remote support will actually heighten the risk of data loss.
Additionally virus and malware infections shouldn’t be worked on remotely, and should be scanned by connecting to a known healthy system to run malware scans. We’ve provided a short list of situations where remote IT service is great, and some instances where it just doesn’t cut it.
