When I try to use Remote Control, it forces the remote machine's user to be locked/logged out while I take control... Is there a way to use Microsoft's built in RDP without forcing the online user off?
Also, does anybody have any good RDP/VNC "monitoring" programs? Something that will keep a list of machines, and make it easy for me to connect? I have seen VNCScan and tried VNC Neighborhood, which is okay, but I haven't seen one for Microsoft's Remote Control. --Matt ----- Original Message ----- From: Christopher Boggs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed, 21 May 2008 07:00:20 -0700 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.
