RE: [ActiveDir] VNC and Terminal Services

Title: Message
John,
 
Though I haven't done exhaustive studies on VNC (talk to me again in a week or so - I just got hit up at work that areas want to deploy - now it's my deal to say go or no-go...), like most anything, locking it down and governing the usage is a combination of policy and system security.  PC Anywhere has its problems, too, if the security is not handled properly or if the access to a poorly locked down console would allow someone to compromise it.  Obviously, if passwords are weak or left exposed (or, none at all) security is going to fail anyway.
 
IMHO, (given the above caveat) VNC is no more or less secure than PC Anywhere.  It may have a greater advantage in that it seems to be more widely dispersed and more widely accepted, in some regards.  Though, looking at it negatively, this could be the anti-thesis as well.

Does anyone know of any big security issues with Ultra VNC or any other VNC products. Ultra VNC looks like a good product. We currently use PCAnywhere 10.5 and it is not cheap. I am trying to find ways to save my org some software costs.

True.  

But, Dell sure seems to as an integral piece of their server management
and DRAC offerings - and yes, on Windows 2000.

FWIW...
