Hi Tom;
VNC is a remote desktop software, another alternative to RDP; YOu can get more 
information on it by going to this URL
http://www.realvnc.com/
I have not yet used it but it was another alternative to RDP if RDP did not 
work for me;
Also Below is some help for whoever want to run Jaws with RDP
Client side:
First install jaws on the client machine and make sure it has remote access 
enabled;
You can go to INSERT+J AND THEN ABOUT AND "IT WILL SAY REMOTE ENABLED";
Second go to the insert+j and then basic and then advance;
then check the 
Check Try Remote Access Speech on startup 
and also 
Check Try Remote Access Braille on startup (if you want braille support)
Check Use Authorization from PAC Mate (if you have it)
Check Enable Remote Access Client(you must check it or otherwise no speach)
Check Enable Remote Access Server (Check it if you want your version of jaws on 
server to look for the authorization)
When checked, JAWS can search for product updates. 
Server side:
Then connect to the server using MSTSC in the start menue+run and type MSTSC

after giving the server IP address and the user name and password
insert the jaws cd and then type in the run dialogue box
d:\JawsVersion.exe /remote
then it will run the usual jaws setup staff and then install typical and then 
next;
However, if you need to avoid the setup questions you can do  /
SilentServer 
and it will install without any promt;
Then do not follow jaws because it will ask you to reboot the server;(in my 
case it did and I just ignored it)
then jaws will run normally and if it asks you to activate just unload it and 
reload it 
Because it will be activated by the client authorazation;

If any one has problem you can email me  and good  luck with RDP experiences;

    Hi Ahmed,  unfortunately you need to install jaws on the servers as well as 
your workstation.  There is no work around.  I work in a similar environment 
where I need to access servers in this way.  Having to reboot them can be an 
issue.  Also we have been moving to ESX virtual servers and jaws won't run on 
them.  Jaws keeps crashing the virtual servers.  It is becoming a real problem.
    Depending of what kind of work you need to do on the server.  For 
troubleshooting I will often map to the servers drives and retrieve log files.  
Also if you map to the server C drive you can then access the windows event 
logs through the event viewer on your work station.
    So there are some things you can do without remoting into the server but it 
is limited.

    Hi their!
    I am using Version Jaws 9.0.2169   pro with XP pro;
    I am trying to connect to several servers to maintain them via Microsoft 
Remote desktop (RDP)
    It says in the jaws documentation that I need to install jaws on the server 
machine;
    and I have all ready have jaws on my client machine;
    Therefore my question is that I do not want to install jaws on every server 
that I am maintaining and it is not visible to reboot the server after I 
install jaws!
    so what can I do and is their any other way of actually getting RDP working 
with jaws without installing jaws on the server?
    Thanks in advance as always!
