That's what I thought. I like (with VNC) being able to control the user's desktop without them having to do any "offering, accepting, acknowledgement, etc".
Thanks. ________________________________ From: Christopher Boggs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 10:00 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Remote Control Application With remote assistance, yes, but not with remote desktop. With Remote Assistance, you can set up unsolicited offers so that you can offer to take control but they always have to OK it, as far as I know. ________________________________ From: David Mazzaccaro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 8:48 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Remote Control Application Is it true that with Microsoft's remote assistance, the user on the remote computer always has to initiate the connection? As with UltraVNC, I can remote connect to any computer with or without the end user being there. ________________________________ From: Edwards, David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 9:32 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Remote Control Application Assuming you have VPN or some sort of remote connectivity to their network, RDP works great. I use it daily from home and remote locations to access my work computer. Also it is free and supported by MS. Make sure the remote computer does not have any power saving, sleep mode, etc. enabled.

There resides a pc on their network that has a specialized application for printing. I need to be able to gain access of the display, keyboard and mouse from my office or my home to access that application periodically during the week without any user intervention on their side. We currently use "gotomeeting.com" but that requires them to start a meeting and since the pc is in a distant location in their building they don't like it. Anyone have a good solution?
