Hi There
How will I go to work if I have to install VNC on +- 300 win98 and 95
machines we did copy files to the c drives of the users and ran the vnchooks
file to update the registry settings but this does not work. We receive lots
of dll errors and we stil have to ask the users to run this files for us
befor we can remote control them
Thanks for your help

Subject: RE: Installing Vnc on 500 workstations
I currently rollout vnc to workstations / servers across our wan, on
an as needed basis. Using a simple script, and the soon.exe that
is part of the NT4.0 resource kit. This could be accomplished without
the util soon. Just makes it easier to create the at command.
The user never knows that the script has been run, nor does it ask
the user for any response. The vnc service is installed, and password
and other registry entries are installed, and the service started.
It could be very easily modified to run from a login script. Or to
run thru a list of your machines and remotely install to them all at
once, etc..
Please tell me your 500 workstations are NT, or 2k - and we wont have
a problem. If your running 9x - you have more problems than trying
to run an install script from a login <grin>
The basics are just scheduling a job to install the registry keys,
and then running the winvnc.exe You can get by the user not having admin
permissions this way <grin>. You then have another scheduled job run
the winvnc.exe -install and then do a net start. All done.
Let me know if you interested - and I'll drop you a copy of my script.
Be more than happy to step you through setting it up - a little more
detail on your network would be helpful. Ie are you 100% NT, and do
you have the schedule / task service running - it is defaulted to be
running, but maybe you have turned it off? You could add a line in
the script to make sure this service is running, etc..
let me know,
John Poznicek, MCSE

Subject: Installing Vnc on 500 workstations
Hi to everyone, and thanks to all that have worked on Vnc.
I have been given the task of rolling out Vnc to approx 500 windows based
workstations. I'm looking for a way of running the Vnc setup.exe through
login scripts and would like a way of doing this without the user needing to
click the next buttons etc, is this possible?
I'm also looking at a way of using a service with admin type rights to
install and start the service on NT.
I've looked over the site and through the mailing archive and cannot find
any info relating to this, If anyone can help or has suggestions it will be
very much appreciated
Regards
Brad Robinson
