Thank you all for your responses. I should say that I just used Add/Remove Programs as an example. I use WMI/VBS/etc to do a lot of things remotely. But I was trying to see if VNC could help me with some things I haven't figured out yet. The specific thing that prompted me to ask was the SMS Advertised Program Monitor. I don't know how to view that remotely, and I was hoping I could use VNC to open the GUI on the remote computer on my desktop.
Thanks again!
