Snag a screenshot of a remote console with LSGrab

It's not often that the help desk people get any love, either in the form of praise, or in the form of software designed to make their jobs easier.

LSGrab, a freeware application designed by Moernaut.com software, allows you to take a screenshot of a remote Windows computer. The footprint is small, and the execution is flawless; another example of DWIS software (Does What It Says, for the layman).

Think of the time-saving possibilities: rather than having to walk a remote client through the method of taking a screenshot, simply open LSGrab, type, click, and it's done.
