Hmmm … have to check that out (just out of curiosity). I am using chrome on the machine @present for the weather channel in kiosk mode.
Kevin asked why the remote session needed. He’s (the supervisor) a very hands on guy and he like to interact with the drivers and mechanics in the garage. ( he wants to be sure that they *actually do* the requested training ) Good for live Q & A too … From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dan Rod Sent: Friday, August 1, 2014 10:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Native VNC-like Windows remote control toy? If you use Google Chrome there is a rdp app that will let you remote into a computer from an android tablet. It's free.

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 -=- -- James Rankin --------------------- RCL - Senior Technical Consultant (ACA, CCA, MCTS) | The Virtualization Practice Analyst - Desktop Virtualization http://appsensebigot.blogspot.co.uk SMP Partners Limited, SMP Trustees Limited and SMP Fund Services Limited are licensed by the Isle of Man Financial Supervision Commission.
