RE: VNC / XP Professional Question
The only difference I've seen is using Terminal Services with Windows 2003 Server. More than one person can "use" the computer at a time, just like *nix systems. -Brad >>> John Aldrich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 12/08/04 08:48AM >>> With MS Windows, you are controlling the local console. That's just the way things work. Windows is designed to be used by a single user at a time. 'Course you can do other things, like print, share files, etc off that machine at the same time, but only one person can be actively "using" the PC. Unlike Unix/Linux (Solaris being a Unix-based O/S) which was designed to let multiple people use it at one time.

I've been using VNC with SPARC Solaris for quite awhile now and am very happy with it. I recently added an XP Professional system to my home network, which I'm accessing via VNC. With the Solaris version, I could set-up different VNC windows and have various people using different windows on the same computer at the same time. With XP, it sees that I'm limited to one window, and it is controlling the monitor at the same time. Is there a way around this, or is this just the way it is? What I'd like to do is have the monitor available for another user, or just not refresh it as I control the system via VNC (which seems to be running really slow because of this). Please feel free to point me to documentation... I did some checking, but could've missed something.

RE: Sending Keyboard Commands using a Script or Batch File
Thanks James. I'm off to look for a key macro program. Any recommendations?

Sending Keyboard Commands using a Script or Batch File
Hi. Is there a way to send keyboard commands to a computer using a script file or batch file? What's going on is I have just recently enabled Wake-On-LAN on all 300 of my computers. I have a program the parses through a list of computer names (actually MAC addresses) and turns on all the computers. Well, after that they just sit at the Novell login screen. Now, all the computers have the same admin account and there is no requirement for pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del before logging in. I just need to be able to parse through a list of computer names and send a username, (then a TAB command to goto the password box), then the password. I'm not worried about encryption at this point, just want to know if it is possible or if someone has done this. It sounds like it should work to me. Oh yeah, I'm using RealVNC 3.3.7 Thanks.

Re: RealVNC 4 beta
3.3.7 has that feature. During a connection, click in the upper left hand corner to get your menu. Save the connection there. After you save your first connection Windows will be associated with the .vnc files. I have like 400 of them. I was even able to add an action so when I right-click on the .vnc file I can connect in "View Only". Pretty sweet. >>> "Jasper Kimmel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 12/16/03 02:43AM >>> Hi there, I'm new to these lists and hope that someone from RealVNC is looking in this list? I have been using RealVNC 4 beta 3 for a while but I stopped because the option to scale the screen is gone. I'm using this functionality of version 3.3.7 a lot because I'm managing all kinds of different servers with different kind of screen resolutions. Another function that I'm missing is the ability to save a connection. I'm using it to save the info of all the several servers to files and put them in my taskbar as a shortcut. Maybe a suggestion for you is to make it possible to link the file extension VNC to the viewer so just by double clicking a VNC configuration file will result in connecting to the machine. Will these functionalities be comming back in the official release of RealVNC 4?

Re: Interactive Authorization
I get the same thing at work. I've been called a "spy" on occasion. A feature like that would be great. However, I do inform my users that the way to tell if someone is connected is by the color of the System Tray icon. Would be nice if it prompted the user ONLY if you were to take control NOT for view only. >>> "Ifj.

Yes/No. You know VNC is a nice thing, but users are afraid of IT. They're afraid because they keep thinking that IT is the watchdog, IT watches every move they do. So they don't really appreciate when we just open up a connection. Is there any way to implement such feature as an optional thing for the future?

View Only / Remote Control Prompt
I'm a PC Support Specialist for about 400 computers. I just started upgrading all the PCs here and I have been installing VNC as I go. I love this program. I have one question though. I was wondering if there is a way to have VNC prompt for "View Only" or "Remote Control"? Basically, I have had to create two .vnc files for each of my VNC computers; one for View Only and one for Remote Control. Because sometimes I just want to walk someone through a process and other times I do need to take control. It doesn't have to be some fancy prompt. Just the only way I can do it now is by editing the .vnc file.
