I would recommend the instructor turning on a VNC (http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/index.html) server when she begins the class and turning it off when the class is complete. The student could use either a VNC client or a web browser to connect to the instructors desktop. VNC can be configured to disable the remote keyboard and pointer so you dont have to worry about the student accidentally interfering with the lesson. Another bonus, VNC is free! You can also lock it down with SSH if you need to.
Hope this helps... -----Original Message----- From: Timothy Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 6:05 PM To: > Subject: Secure Way of Remotely Viewing a Desktop... Hey Folks! I hope this forum is the right place to post this question... If not, sorry! Background: I'm a sys. admin. at a local high school and have the following situation... There is a student taking a computer programming class that has a vison disability. He has a school provided Win2K Pro laptop that has been locked down very tightly... This laptop was provided to him to make learning easier for him. However, there is one problem... In order for him to funtion effectively in class he will need to be able to see a remote display of what his teacher is doing on her PC (which is hooked up to an LCD projector) on the screen of his PC. Is there a secure way of accomplishing this feat without using any of a number of trojan horse programs? The network is Windows based instead of Novell, so ZENWorks is not an option... Thanks for any help you can give in this!!! T�M�TH� �H��K H���
