This ADM looks quite handy. In *any* NTish domain using VNC it can globalize the policies pretty well - on the Win9x/Me clients also.
I need to look at this more (translation: Since I don't use PolEdit more than once every 3months I need to re-learn how the dickens to navigate it), but you're right. It's a very telling point that with Win2K domains, for example, we're seeing GP much easier than logon scripts for standards implementation. FYI, anyone interested, I did reconvert a function using RegObj.DLL as a method for rapid examination of remote VNC keys on a Windows NT/2000/XP system. It requires RegObj.DLL for use, but can be of use for rapid audit of a system's machine keys. Since it's about 120 lines long currently (some of which wrap viciously in email :]), I'm not including it here, but will likely put it up if/when it becomes something useful... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew van der Stock" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday/2002 March 06 21.10 Subject: RE: RFC - Windows VNC server configuration issues : Alex, : : Group policy and make the product deployable using assigned software : policies. : : This is how you can truly reduce the amount of time and angst of dealing : with VNC in a domain environment.
