Question re: remote re-start

OK, so I just bought the license. Tech Support said that I can restart a machine remotely and have control over the computer when it re-boots. I've tried and I can't do it. It's probably because VNC Server is not running prior to signing in past the Windows Logon screen. Is this a co

James, A vnc user should not setdown or logout xvncserver remotely. I am using Xvnc server with xinetd option and java-vncviewer. When a user logs in in to vnc-server through vnc-viewer and tries Ctrl+Alt+TAB the vncserver gives the system setdown dialog box and for Ctrl+Alt+Backspace it asks for

Han, you probably run VNC server in application mode. In this case when you restart Window, VNC server won't be started automatically. There is an option to run VNC server as a Window service, and that's exactly what you need. Best regards, Yury SmartCode Solutions WWW: http://www.s-code.com Tel

Susanta, vncserver does not interpret Ctrl+Alt+Tab or Ctrl+Alt+Backspace in any way. It sounds like this is being done by whatever shell your users are running. You should therefore find that although they're offered the option, they can't _actually_ shutdown the machine, since only root can do th

As opposed to what? I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you talking about service-mode vs. user-mode? Whenever I re-boot and sign-in, VNC server is running automatically (i.e, upon start-up). I'm not sure, however, if it is running "as a service". If it is, should I change it? What should I chan

It's probably the "Fast User Switching" feature in XP. Unfortunately, they will have to disable that (nice) feature of XP in order for VNC to work correctly... :-( John B Miller wrote: Hi, Recently my parents 'upgraded' their OS to Win XP Home (SP2). They installed VNC server v. 4.1.1 and s

BTW, if you would like to keep Fast User Switching enabled, you should consider using the "Remote Assistance" feature built into XP. It allows your parents to "request" assistance from you, and you can then take over the XP machine remotely. John B Miller wrote: Hi, Recently my parents 'upg
