Wez, I can confirm I am running VNC Server 4.1.2 in service-mode, I have then edited the VNC Config file within the fastpush directory to replicate the settings I would like placed on a client machine.
But when I use the script to push out VNC these config settings aren't replicated onto the client. Can you confirm whether I am indeed attempting to accomplish this in the right way? By editing the VNC Config file within the fastpush directory? Or is there an easier way to do this?
