Hi - we're thinking about implementing VNC 4 as our remote access solution for desktops (about 500). We have two issues that might prevent us from picking VNC though - I wonder if anyone has looked into this before or has any ideas: We want to give users a warning prior to connection, plus time to close off any sensitive documents etc. before we connect. We can use the option in VNC to prompt the local user to accept the incoming connection however this is where the two issues are. The time is only 10 seconds, we would usually set it to 30. From looking at the registry keys it appears you should be able to adust the QueryTimeout value to whatever setting you like however when we tried this it had no effect. Secondly, the default behaviour is that when the timeout expires, the connection is refused. This means that we would have no way of connecting to machines that were currently logged off etc. or machines whose users were away from their desks etc. What we want is the best of both worlds i.e. a time delay on connections giving users the time to close down what they don't want adminstrators to see, or the option to reject the connection, but once the time limit expires, the connection is accepted. Our current remote access solution gives us these options, however we are upgrading to XP and are faced with a cost of around 15 thousand dollars to get the latest release of their software compatible with XP - VNC is just as good and in many ways better now that event logging and host only installations are possible, however these two areas are of concern to us. Has anyone got any ideas? Thanks Ronan Fahy Network and Systems Adminstrator Department of Transport Ireland
