Why not utilise the Vista Web client. You install vista on the primary
console and that can then sit in the server room. Then point a browser at
the vista server on that machine to do almost all the functions possible
with the main console. More secure than PCAnywhere at least.

But you can have multiple (well 3) consoles or you can use the web console.

Hmm... can anyone provide more details? This is definitely
something that I am interested in. Off the list, if you feel that it needs
to be. I will summarize if there's interest.
