Sorry, I don't know the answer to this one coz I don't know how Windows terminal server works nor how VNC works with it.
On a typical windows setup (not terminal server) you can only have one person using the Windows PC in GUI mode at a time and that is what VNC allows access to - thus in my case I can only have one person use each PC in GUI mode at a time - be it using VNC, or using the actual PC directly. I guess the other suggestion someone made of finding the VNC or TightVNC mailing list would probably be your best bet - unless someone else here has any experience with Windows terminal server and VNC. > i think you're suggestion si what I will need. > > Let me understand this.
