( have to remember to check this folder from time to time … I have a rule that moves this lists msgs … )
Thanks for all of the feedback on this folks. I just ran with TightVNC in the end. Very small, a light footprint, and very easy install to get up and running. -=- jd -=- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Erik Goldoff Sent: Friday, August 1, 2014 7:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] Native VNC-like Windows remote control toy? why not have *that* machine with the large display RDP into a terminal server, and autostart a training video upon login ?

One low tech option might be to RDP from the kiosk system to the user's machine. --- Original Message --- From: "Danvers, Jim" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: August 1, 2014 10:45 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [NTSysADM] Native VNC-like Windows remote control toy? 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 -=-
