The basic thing is to copy the VNC files and settings to the target
computer, rather than going through the setup process - these have the same
effect.
So first of all, install VNC on a clean computer, reboot a couple of times
to make sure all the settings are staying put (I seem to remember sometimes
the password doesn't hold on the first reboot).
Then export the VNC subtrees from the registry.
I believe there are three, in HKEY_CuRRENT_USER, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT.
Export them to three .reg files is easiest.
Now all you have to do is copy the c:\program files\vnc directory and
c:\winnt\system32\omnithread_rt.dll to the target machine and import the
registry settings.
This is done with the NT Server Resource kit tools rsetup and rclient.
Rclient allows you to tuin a command prompt on a remote machine as if you
were actually at that machine - the comamnd prompt runs in the background on
the remote machine and doesn't affect the user currently on it.
rsetup must be used to setup the remote command prompt service.
Then rclient can be used to connect.
You'll have to look up the details of the two commands, as I have forgotten
and don't have access to an NT4 resource kit.
The rclient should be run with the batch command switch on, and get it to
run the following batch file:
cd c:\program files
md vnc
copy \\server\vncshare\winvnc.exe c:\program files\vnc
copy \\server\vncshare\vnchooks.dll c:\program files\vnc
copy \\server\vncshare\omnithread_rt.dll c:\winnt\system32
regedit /s \\server\vncshare\vnc1.reg
regedit /s \\server\vncshare\vnc2.reg
regedit /s \\server\vncshare\vnc3.reg
winvnc -install
This will copy the relevant files, install the registry settings and then
install VNS as a service.
If you write a batch file to execute the rclient command, then you can pass
a list of computer NETBIOS names to it (these are used in the rclient
command) to automate the installation across aall 400 machines.
Hope this helps.
