The biggest question is "what OS are the users running"?
If you've moved everyone to WinXP Pro, you already have a helpdesk 
infrastructure in place, but figure those odds, right?

  Mornin All,

   

  For our support department we spend a lot of time "guessing, and hoping" the 
clients are doing what we tell them to do to troubleshoot problems.  While 
Terminal Server is great for having people connect to us for product demo's and 
training.. it cannot help with support.

   

  We would like to use Conferencing server, but there are so many issues with 
firewalls and setup on both server/client sides.

   

  Just wondering if anyone is aware of a program that will allow our support 
department to remotely control clients computers, without any special 
configuration/firewall setup on the clients end?

   

  Also keep in mind that we are only a 35-40 person company and are not looking 
to spend 500-1000 per month.. cheaper the better for my boss J

   

  Currently, we have an ISA box as our router/firewall setup for NAT.

   

  Thanks!!
