Subject: Remote Access to many Windows boxes 


Hi all - 

I am sorry if the title leads you to think that this topic has already been
discussed, but perhaps my question is a different flavour of the problem of
remote desktop access.

I have purchased the remote access support for JAWS, and with it, I can run
remote desktop on another machine. I have not actually done this, but I
believe I understand the principles. 
As I understand it, generally speaking, in order to enable access to a
remote desktop, JAWS also needs to be installed on that remote windows
machine as well and then all works fine.
 If my understanding is correct, then so far so good.

The problem I am dealing with is that I work in a support role as a database
administrator for a relatively large company that has a complex computing
infrastructure. In the production computing environment, there are many,
many Windows boxes that I need to gain access to. Being production (vs
development or test boxes), access to these boxes is highly controlled. It
is not feasible to install JAWS onto dozens of production windows boxes to
enable me remote access to do parts of my job. That just isn't going to
happen. 

So I am wondering if others have run into this problem wherein remote access
is needed to numerous other windows boxes but it is not possible to install
JAWS onto those boxes?
Are there other ways to gain access? Other tools? Other methods?

Appreciate any ideas others may have.
