Add a "grab a screenshot" feature

I'd like to see the ability to grab a screenshot from the client computer. Ideally:

  • it could be configured to happen with our without end user knowledge.
  • It would transfer the file to my (host) computer.
  • Optionally it could have a date/time stamp.
  • It could capture one or all screens in a dual-screen environment.
  • Bonus points if it could be scheduled.

This would be different from relying on the thumbnail and transferring the thumbnail via the existing work-around of increasing the thumbnail size and using a secondary tool to download the thumbnail. The work-around has some drawbacks, most notably needing to be a global change that increases bandwidth across an installation that occurs (at scale) during thumbnail periodic updates.

Thanks!

Ideally I'd like this to be no saving the thumbnail image, but instead creating a screenshot of the customer desktop.


Why?

  1. To grab a point of reference, either for record keeping on a problem/solution, or to send to another support service (such as, well, SC or LabTech support for example)
  2. Periodically we have customer / owners requesting we 'keep an eye' on a desktop for various reasons, mostly concerns about system misuse. Being able to grab that screen shot without the user knowing would allow us to easily fulfill this request.
