Abstract
A management computing device determines that a client computing device is able to assist in acquiring information from a managed computing device to satisfy a current communication need of the management computing device regarding the managed computing device. The management computing device is not communicatively connected to the managed computing device. The management computing device transmits a request to the client computing device to assist in acquiring the information to satisfy the current communication need. The management computing device receives the information to satisfy the current communication need, such as from the client computing device directly, or from the managed computing device after a user of the client computing device has initiated temporary communication connectivity between the management computing device and the managed computing device.
