I'm looking in using either using Remote Assitance and/or Desktop in a help
desk support environment. For example, if a user calls in asking for
assistance with a application, or if we are in need of troubleshooting the
machine, we would like to initate a remote assistance request that takes the
end user out of the equation so we don't need to walk them through how to
send a email/file request. We don't use MSN/Windows Messenger so that isn't
a option. Ideally it would be nice if we can right click on the machine in
Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) to initate a remote assistance
request.
We have a total of 230+ machines and twenty servers with three DCs in a
Active Directory environment. Our help desk staff have elevated "admin"
rights on the domain.

Look into "Offer Remote Assistance".
