I responded to Andrew's comment on unblocking VNC in the firewall, as it
apparantely is blocked there. I haven't said a thing about Gencontrol.
Sometimes you need to connect to a computer at work from say home. If
there is a firewall blocking the use of eg VNC, the firewall rule or
whatever will have to be changed accordingly, unless you use some sort
of VPN-tunneling or some such. VNC all by itself (meaning the free
version) doesn't have any of this.
What's this got to do with firewalls? I do certainly not run VNC
through
a firewall? If I need to connect to a users machine from outside I can
run Gencontrol within a VPN or Citrix session. Why would you need/want
to run directly through a firewall?

I know what you mean...
Anyway, I wouldn't unblock the VNC ports in the company firewall if I
were you, and that's what you mean?
VNC is well-known to crackers and hackers... Granted, you can lock it
down using white-lists and stuff, but I'd still rather see a way to
initiate a mail-remote-desktop-session and yadda, yadda, yadda, using
an
already built-in program. I really with Microsoft could point its wand
over the rdp-clients and do some magic. 8-/
Yeah, I remember you asking, was hoping we had found an answer! Guess
not,
bah!
Whats annoyed me is just now we tried doing one WITH an invite and it
kept
wanting to kick the user off anyway!
Will have to get VNC unblocked on the firewall I guess :(

I asked the same thing a while back, but didn't really come any
conclusion. Anyway, I'd like to do this too.
Anyone know if theres a way to connect to an XP machines console
session,
without logging off the current user? I know the user can send an
invite
and ask you to connect, but is there a way to connect without the
user
sending the initial invite?
