Hmm, the way I discovered of doing it ran thusly:
Use rsetup from the NT4 Server Resourse kit to remotely install Rconsole
on the target machine.
Run rconsole - this runs a silent dos prompt on the target machinbe, and
you can specify to do It with admin rights
Inside said dos prompt, run a batch file with the following:
Copy files (exe, dll, directory structure insode \program files)
from a shared server folder somewhere
run regedit /s vnc.reg (where vnc.reg is an exported .reg of the
settings from a clean machine with VNC setup as preferred - this
includes the password setting :)
run winvnc -install
Because it all runs as administraor on the target machine, no rights
issues incur.
Only works on a domain, but is brilliant, 'cos it's all totally remote.
I used it to install VNC(fully configured) on a machine that I had never
even seen, 200 miels away in one of our other offices, across the
company WAN.
I can probab;ly remmeber details of the batch fiels if pressed
