Important
Remote support applies to Azure Stack Edge version 2110 or later.
On your Azure Stack Edge device, you can enable remote support to allow Microsoft Engineers to diagnose and remediate issues by accessing your device remotely. When you enable this feature, you provide consent for the level of access and the duration of access.
This article describes the remote support feature including when to use this feature, how the feature can be enabled, and provides a list of allowed operations that Microsoft Engineers can run on your device remotely.
About remote support
If you experience an issue with Azure Stack Edge, typically, you should collect a support package and provide to Microsoft Support. In some cases, the logs do not have enough information to diagnose and remediate the issue. Microsoft Support then reaches out to you to get your consent for remote support.
Here are some benefits of remote support:
- You can resolve the issue faster as Microsoft Support doesn't need to arrange an in-person meeting.
- You can view the transcript of the remote support session including all the operations that were executed on the device.
- You are in full control of your data and can revoke consent at any time. If you forget to exit the session, the access to the session is automatically disabled once the access duration expires.
How remote support works
The following illustration shows how the remote support works.
You provide consent for remote support for your device via the Azure portal. You also configure the level and the duration of access for your device.
The consent and request for remote support is sent from the Azure portal to the Azure Stack Edge Resource Provider (RP) which in turn sends it down to the device. The device agent asks the RP for the hybrid connection credential that it can connect to.
A hybrid connection credential is created that is used to establish an Azure hybrid connection. This connection is:
- Device specific. Each device has its own connection and the connection is not shared.
- Allows Microsoft Support to have a just-in-time (JIT) access to device over a secure, audited, and compliant channel.
- This connection uses an https protocol over port 443 and the traffic is encrypted with TLS 1.2.
The device agent starts listening onto that hybrid connection for any requests that are coming via the browser interface for the Azure Support Center.
The browser requests to connect to the hybrid connection and the request is sent to the device to open a restricted PowerShell session. If the consent exists, the request is accepted. If the device doesn't have the consent, it just rejects that connection.
Once the connection is established, all the communication occurs over this secure connection.
The operations that Microsoft Support can perform over this connection are restricted based on the access level granted using just enough administration (JEA). For more information about cmdlets that Microsoft Support can execute during a remote support session, see the list of allowed Microsoft Support operations in this article.
Enable remote support
To configure remote support for your Azure Stack Edge device, follow these steps:
In the Azure portal, go to the Azure Stack Edge resource for your device and then go to Diagnostics.
By default, Microsoft does not have remote access to your device and remote support status is displayed as Not enabled. To enable this feature, select Configure remote support.
Select the Access level as Diagnostics to provide JIT access to Microsoft Support to remotely gather diagnostics information. If needed, Support team will recommend that you select Diagnostics and repair to allow remote remediation action.
Each access level enables a different set of remote commands on the device and hence, a different set of operations.
- Diagnostics allows mostly read operations and hence, mostly
Getcmdlets are available. - Diagnostics and repair allows read-write access and hence, in addition to
Getcmdlets,Set,Add,Start,Restart,Stop,Invoke,Removecmdlets are also available.
For more information, see a List of all the Support operations allowed in each access level.
- Diagnostics allows mostly read operations and hence, mostly
Select the duration over which to provide remote access. The duration can be 7, 15, 21, or 30 days. At the end of this duration, the remote access to the device is automatically disabled.
To revoke access at any time, set to Do not allow access. This action terminates any existing sessions does not allow new sessions to be established.
Once you have configured remote support, select Apply for the settings to take effect. When you select Apply, you provide consent to Microsoft to remotely collect diagnostics information from a secure and controlled environment.
Remote support examples
The following example scenarios show you how to perform various operations when remote support is enabled on your device.
To perform the remote support operations, you'll first need to Connect to the PowerShell interface of the device and then run the cmdlets.
List existing remote sessions
Use the Get-HcsRemoteSupportSession cmdlet to list all the remote sessions that were made to the device within the specified number of days.
Get-HcsRemoteSupportSession -IncludeTranscriptContents $false -NumberOfDays <Number of days>
Here is an example output for all the remote support sessions configured in the past 10 days.

Collect remote session transcripts
Depending on your audit requirements, you may need to view the transcripts. Follow these steps to collect remote session transcripts:
In the local UI, go to Troubleshooting > Support. Gather a Support package.
Once the support package is collected, download the support package. Extract the zipped folder. The transcripts are located in SupportTranscripts folder in the support package.
