Hi, I'd like to be able to change the password and port on all the machines running vnc server at regular intervals. I know this can be done via a batch file that runs a reg file.
The question is how to do it with minimum hands on. I'd like to be able to define the port and password as environment variables on our logon servers (via an at command) then have the login bat file compare existing registry entries on client machines against those variables. If they match, do nothing, if the don't use kixtart to set the reg entries to the new variables. It makes sense in theory... Does anyone have any input on this?

I'm trying to install VNC on a remote server running Windows 2000 Server, I have access to it at the moment with Terminal Services, but want VNC there as a backup for the times Terminal Services goes wrong. I've downloaded both current versions, 3.3.3r9 and 3.3.3r7. I've downloaded and tried both current versions (3.3.3r9 and 3.3.3r7) - shut down the service and uninstalled between tries of course, but I find I am unable to get it to work properly. I want to install it as a service, so I run 'Install VNC Service', I then start the service through Administrative Tools > Services but I'm not asked for a default password. I've also tried (on removing and uninstalling), rebooting rather than starting the service manually but this didn't ask me for a password either. When I then try to connect to the server I get a message saying that there is no default password set and that incoming connections are not accepted until a default password is set. I've tried exactly the same process on a Win2K server in the office, this one immediately asked for a password on starting the service and I can connect no problem. There is a firewall on the remote system, but the required port is open - I can get through to it, as explained above it tells me there is no password, so it is not a firewall issue. I've also tried running the VNC Application and setting a default password, but I still get the error message when trying to access the server. Does VNC perhaps just not like being installed from Terminal Services? I really hope somebody can help, this problem is really driving me mad ;) Regards, Simon Lowe --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
