I don't quite follow your advice yet. By "you will need to use the 
remote," do you mean Remote Desktop? Or a remote mode of Servers Alive 
itself?

With VNC, there is a just a single shared Windows account in play. Using 
VNC is like connecting to the console session with Microsoft Remote 
Desktop.

If you use auto-responders (like out-of-the-office messages), make sure that 
they are not sent to the list nor to individual members.  Doing so will cause 
you to be automatically removed from the list.
