As usual its buried in the small print...

"The Remote Assistance tool can be configured to enable an expert user to
initiate a Remote Assistance session by using the Offer Remote Assistance
feature. The Remote Assistance session lets the expert user help a novice
user. This feature requires the computer of the expert user and the computer
of the novice to be members of the same domain or members of trusted
domains."

"This capability is called "Unsolicited Remote Assistance," and is designed
for use in Enterprise corporations that are using domains."

There are probably others, but you get the idea...:-)
