If you do not need access "on demand", and can let manage letting users initiate the session, then something like www.desktopstreaming.com might work well. It's from the same company that makes GoToMyPC, but geared more towards companies that need to support a large number of remote clients.

It is a monthly charge, but it works without any changes to the firewalls.

It ain't my company. And I'm not certain that I'll be able to get them to open things up a bit to allow me to remote control into a laptop on their network. This is why I've been asked to find something that doesn't require firewall changes to work. In my thinking though, I have to punch a hole somewhere in order to have incoming communications.
