Hi,

> I'm interested to know if this kind of script can work on W2K

As far as I know, it won't because the script has this line -

>rem Install the service
>C:\Progra~1\ORL\VNC\WinVNC.exe -install

- and users can't install or start/stop services.

With Windows 2k - you could get VNC on the boxes with:

1) Fashpush (sorry for blowing my own trumpet) at www.darkage.co.uk

2) Make a MSI file with the Active Directory toolkit and make it a forced 
published application to your 2k boxes (no effect on NT4 tho).

3) Or, if you have Novell 4, 5 or 6 - make a zen object and force it on to user 
workstations via the login script.

All of the above options uses extra technology to assume admin rights when 
the installer kicks off.

Not as far as I am aware..... what you could do - and it would be a bit scary - 
would be to use something like SU or RUNAS and run a VNC installing batch 
file from the login script. Of course, you run the risk of someone finding your 
admin password from that, so like I said, it's a bit dodgy.

Hope that helps!

Later,
Richard
