I have a policy for VNC by System Management Technologies Software, but for the life of me I can't find the URL where I got it from. However, it dosen't have the password as an option. The password get's encrypted before it gets saved, so I don't think it can be done with a policy editor.

The issue goes back to the fact that implementing a central password system for Windows systems (or a remotely changeable one) would have required all sorts of (potentially unreliable) additions. So the same issue applies across the board to standard VNC versions. The one method I haven't seen explored yet - haven't even looked for it - is using a policy file to reset the password. That way you avoid having to manually run a REG. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wilmes, Rusty" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday/2002 March 05 14.09 Subject: tightvnc vs "loose" vnc : Hi, : : Our current plan is to deploy vnc server to our client 9x computers via a : login.bat installation that will install, run registry files etc. Currently : it runs via the startup programs the first time but subsequently installs as : a service so that it's running even before the user logs in.
