I'm using a Windows 10 laptop and I'm wondering how to remotely view/control other computers (Windows 7 Professional) on my network.

I know about Remote Desktop Connection, but there are 70-80 computers that I need to access.
You cannot access anything but local files and programs on the computers. (No system settings, user settings, etc.)
I think they are using Intel Active Management and LanSchool.
Also, I cannot go around with a thumb drive and install a remote access program on every computer seeing as how they automatically wipe themselves of non-approved files once a day (or week).

I plan on playing a prank at school for the last day of my Senior year. I know that this is ethically wrong, but it's going to be legendary. So I don't want any comments telling me how I'll get caught or telling me that it's not worth it.

Thank you.

If the computers get automatically wiped everyday, then you're simply out of luck. There's nothing you can do that doesn't involve installing something. Besides Remote Desktop, other protocols include VNC, and proprietary ones like TeamViewer. Every single one of them will get wiped by the administrative wipe by the end of the day. The only way you can do it is have administrative privilege on your network, and stop the nightly wipe.

I was going to tell you about OpenNMS, but now that I see you're not a legit admin, the idea's rather wasted.



You could go around to some or all of the machines and enter crtl-alt-uparrow. You'll get caught, of course, which is why I suggest it.
