The source IP address of the remote control request is provided in the message. Use this information to determine the computer from which the remote control command was issued. This might help identify who issued the remote control command. Warning: The Network Load Balancing (NLB) remote control option presents many security risks, including the possibility of data tampering, denial of service, and information disclosure. It is strongly recommended that you do not enable remote control, and that you instead use NLB Manager or other remote management tools such as Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). |
