How to set Remote Assistance Invitation to never expire

I have two questions:

1. Is it possible to create an invitation file that is set to never expire?

2. If not, is there an easy way to script the process so that in one
click/action the invitation is automatically created/generate and saved/sent
to the same specific person each time?

I wish to setup a directory of invitations, one from every computer user/pc
that when they have an issue, I can easily go to that directory and open
thier specific, non-expiring invitation and iniate a connection. If this is
not possible, then I wish to have a simple shortcut/scipt on their desktop
that they launch that will automatically, with no user input, send me an
invitation. Anyone know how to accomplish this?
 
I don't know how to do #1, nor, really, #2. I think #2 could be cut to a
few steps--create invitation, save to file, run batch process to either
command-line-mailer said file, or move said file to network drive.

If you are in a domain, you can use the "offer remote assistance" process
and do away with the invitations altogether if your "expert" is an
administrator.
 
Sorry, I wasn't very specific on number 2. I was hoping to create a script
that would generate the invitation file based on the current time, date,
user and activate the registry to allow the connection. Basically all the
steps the wizard does.

I will look into how to offer remote assistance, as that might be the best
option I have. Thanks.
 
I think your right about the "Offer" functionality...

Good luck...
