Why each option
Enabling shadowing in XenDesktop requires Windows Remote Assistance to be active and port 3389 open for RDP traffic to flow between the administrator and the user session.
Windows Remote Assistance is the underlying Windows feature that Citrix leverages for session shadowing; without it enabled, the shadowing request cannot be initiated or accepted.
Enable-PSRemoting configures Windows PowerShell remoting over WinRM and is unrelated to the RDP-based shadowing mechanism used in XenDesktop.
Windows Remote Management (WinRM) is a management protocol for PowerShell remoting and scripting, not a prerequisite for Citrix session shadowing.
Disabling UAC is not required for shadowing; UAC controls elevation prompts and does not gate the Remote Assistance functionality needed for shadowing.
Port 3389 is the default RDP port used by the shadowing connection; if this port is blocked by a firewall, the administrator's client cannot establish the remote view of the user session.
