Hi guys,

Been asked to look into a VNC solution for some 200 users. We currently run a citrix environment but users need access to some local apps and sites so we cant support them with these through the citrix session.

What do you guys suggest? We're looking for something free to be honest but i know theres tons of decent free apps out there so there must be something.

Ideally we need to be able to push it out using RES.

Cheers
 
How about VNC? :)

Problem with using these kind of software in a corporate environment is that the software usually tend to cost a bit of money. I know RealVNC has an enterprise version for corp use not sure about the pricing.

We are using NetSupport where I work now and it's quite good and easy to use, again not sure about the pricing structure.

teamviewer? does require the user to download the client but it works prety much everywhere.
 
Do you have anything like SMS? If so you could use the remote control feature of that, long shot I know :)

Dameware is very popular due to it's easy of use but you could go for Remote Assistance if you have XP / Vista / Active Directory.

I configured it for the support team at my last place. They prefered it to VNC.

I was gonna mention that but thought it hadn't been for some obvious reason yet. It's free and works :)

Some of us that will need to control the users on the floors run Vista. Obviously if theres something we can utilise which is 'built in' already then that would be great.

But yeah, have i missed something regarding Remote Assistance with Vista?

Cheers
 
Also slightly off topic..

Has anyone tested Lanview3 on a virtual box and had it run succesfully? I can connect and gain control however i cant view the screen with the VNC option.

I tried 3 virtual pcs on 3 different boxes and they all were listed with the same MAC address and IP ?

You need a VNC server client installed on the clients.

We run LanView3 & UltraVNC+Mirror driver at work. Excellent piece of software.
 
VNC :)

Then again i'm biased because I work there..

fork out a bit of cash and get VNC Enterprise Edition, i'll swing you a discount :P

200 seats is only GBP1292.86 plus VAT at 17.5% (GBP226.25), total GBP1519.11.. compare that to any other remote control solutions that offer similar features

Might actually look into that.
We use UltraVNC as the VNC client for LanView3 and have been impressed by it.
