Bo, >I am about done with the remote install of the VNC server on my remote W2000 >Pro machine, there is "only" the small part about setting the password >left... [snip] Recall that the registry is only read when the server starts up and initializes. If you didn't have the password, then the server is displaying the properties dialog, waiting to have the password set. With no interaction, the password won't get set even if you later put it into the registry. My suggestion: 1) do a "net stop" to kill the server that you started before setting the password 2) verify that a password hash is in the expected registry location, and that it's the right type (BINARY, which can't be imported using a .REG file) 3) do a "net start" to re-load using the registry settings -- Jim Millard +--------------------------------------------------------------+ Kansas City, MO http://www.millard.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send a message with the line: unsubscribe vnc-list to [EMAIL PROTECTED] See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
