There are a lot of solutions to this. If you want a M$ supported (and free)
one, try NetMeeting.

There are lots of IP based KVM solutions as well...those are my favorites.

I concur with Steve. I've installed Vector's PCDuo onto my Citrix servers
with no ill effects.

Connecting to console session may be a 2003 only feature - have been running
VNC on Citrix boxes without any issue as fallback and to install apps from
remote as it puts you at the console.

I'm trying to remotely troubleshoot an application running in the console
session of a Citrix Metaframe XP FR3 farm, on Windows 2000 server (sp3).
Unfortunately the application is only visible within the console session.
Under Windows Server 2003 I can connect to the console using RDP via the
command-line "mstsc /v:servername /console", but I'm not aware of a way to
do this under 2000.  My second thought was to try and shadow the console
session through the Citrix Management Console, however I quickly noticed
that the option to shadow the console session is grayed out.

 

Because this is at a remote location, and it's a customer site, it would be
advantageous to troubleshoot the issue remotely.  

 

1) Have I missed something?  In looking into this I don't think it's
possible to use TS to get to the console of a 2000 server, but I haven't
found a whitepaper specifically saying this functionality doesn't exist.

 

2) Does anyone have a work-around they could recommend?  I'm very hesitant
to install VNC, Carbon Copy, etc. on this box, but if anyone has already
done something similar, I'd appreciate your input.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Nick
