Acquire one of the other licensed remote control services mentioned above.

Initially this will have a modest learning curve but it is very reliable and reproduceable.

Field engineers leverage SSH to remote into the target Mac and activate VNC/ARD with the kickstart command.There are a few different paths to take here: Unfortunately no Windows VNC clients natively support the Mac VNC functionality of ARD that tunnels authentication through SSH and supports drag and drop file transfers.
