It was me. Look for my name when looking for the details/ The trick is that we need to let the SCM know that we are shutting down (STOP_PENDING), and simply ignore that. The SCM will kill us as the last thing it does. The VNC SC handler must be cognizant of the state of the machine - we don't want to unnecessarily make the box take longer than necessary on the way down.
The other thing to do is to put in some service dependencies, but on a default system, this doesn't really help if we're a leaf node of the dependency graph.

This can cause problems when doing a reboot if another app or service displays a error message. PC anywhere does not do this. It actually happened to me the other day when I rebooted a server remotely, a error message popuped up and the server never rebooted. I am assuming that the VNC server is responding to the WM_CLOSE message when it actually should not be. This problem is holding VNC back in the corp enviroment. Are there any plans to fix this?
