For more information a see How to configure client settings in System Center Configuration Manager.
To use Remote Assistance or Remote Desktop, it must be installed and configured on the computer that runs the Configuration Manager console. For more information about how to install and configure Remote Assistance or Remote Desktop, see your Windows documentation.
To enable remote control and configure client settings

On the Home tab, in the Properties group, choose Properties.
In the Default dialog box, choose Remote Tools.

Enable keyboard translation
By default, Configuration Manager transmits the key position from the viewer’s location to the sharer’s location. This can present a problem for keyboard configurations that differ from viewer to sharer. For example, a viewer with an English keyboard would type an “A”, but the sharer’s French keyboard would provide a “Q”. You now have the option of configuring remote control so that the character itself is transmitted from the viewer’s keyboard to the sharer, and what the viewer intends to type arrives at the sharer.
To turn on keyboard translation, in Configuration Manager Remote Control, choose Action,and choose Enable keyboard translation to transmit key position.
[!NOTE]
Special keys, such as ~!#@$%, will not be translated correctly.

I've install SCCM 2012 on a server and have successfully used the Remote Control option to take control of a system I've setup to be managed by SCCM. Now, I don't want to have to log in to a server every time I want to access this client..is there a way to run the Remote Control Viewer client on my desktop OS so I can take remote control of systems rather than having to remote in from the server? This seems like very basic functionality..but I haven't been able to figure it out thus far.

When you run the SCCM installer on your workstation, choose the option to Install Configuration Manager console. Now you can run the console from your own workstation instead of using remote desktop to the server.
