Hi peeps,

What FREE software is ideal to login to my colleagues computers.

I will need to login to their system to run updates and general maintenance. This must be free secure software.

Any advice please.

RDP if your local, you can use it remotely just make sure you secure it, also VNC which I use to connect to my server at home from work should I need to sort something out on it

Hi, thanks for reply.

I would need something where the user simply has to turn on the application and i can do the rest. Some of the colleges are not the best on computers so need the most simple APP going.

VNC Has a start server/stop server in the start menu, just have to make sure that when you are installing the application select it so that it doesnt run on windows startup, unless you need it to, then they can click start server when you need to access it and you type in their public IP address on your client.

Also you will have to open up a few ports on the firewall.

or you could use something like teamviewer which is web based and less hassle I guess?
