We have a television display (LCD) mounted up on a wall in out truck drivers break room that has a networked PC connected to it. At present all it is doing is auto-logging onto the domain using a generic account and bringing up a weather web page in kiosk mode. I'm going to show some supervisors how to access it so that they can have it run powerpoint slide shows, etc ...
One of the supervisors asked a question about using it as a large display, ala a projector, if you will, that he could use to conduct training sessions back there with the drivers. My initial answer was "yeah we can do that ... " but then I thought about it for a minute and was like "... oh wait ... that won't work." I was just going to have him rdp onto the session but .... as I'm sure most in here know the local display will go blank when hijacked in such a manner. :( Are there *any* native, and preferably free, windows solutions to get remote control of a remote machine AND have that machines screen NOT go blank AND not require any user intervention? ( ie; yeah - let Brian the supervisor connect ) I've run the question re: using VNC up to my immediate supervisor (I don't know if it is "illegal" to use here in our company or not ... ). Hopefully they won't have any issues with it - but if they do - you guys have any ideas? -=- jd -=-
