About 10 years late.

Are you able to resolve the name using NBTSTAT?

I've been testing uVNC in application mode so I can more quickly test a setting, stop it, change a setting, start it, etc. Turns out, MSLogon auth doesn't work unless uVNC is running with Administrator credentials. My VNC folder is in 'Program Files' so I'm not sure if that's affecting the required ...

The auth issue may be on my end as I can't get any version of uVNC to work on my test system. I'll post the results once I figure out what's going on.

MSLogon II

I haven't used MSLogon I in a long time, but I'll try it to see if that works or not.

I use uVNC 1.2.2 with MSLogon on Windows 10 without issue. I just started trying 1.3.3 dev8 and the only problem I have is the authentication is never successful. If I turn off MSLogon, I can connect via password just fine.

I would love the screen blanking feature to be improved. I know MS broke it a while back with some underlying video changes, but something better would be nice. At least a message letting anyone in front of the server know it is being controlled and to have some patience...

Just an FYI, the person who wrote the MSLogon enhancement no longer works on this project. We're pretty fortunate it works as well as it does because I don't think any changes have been made to that part of the project in a very long time.

Just use name resolution. If DNS is an option then use the DNS name of the computer as registered. If not, add entries to your computer's HOSTS file:

192.168.1.100 Joe
192.168.1.105 Bill

Then you can connect to Joe or Bill instead of the IP address.

UltraVNC is Windows-only software. It interoperates with any VNC platform that keeps to the standard, though.

Google, Bing, and Yahoo (to name a few) have search engines that comb most of the digital information available on the network of computer systems collectively known as the internet. I ...

Remember that MSLogon security still does use the registry, though.

Right...SAS not needed for XP.

Just confirm it's running as a service as that is not specified in the original post.

I'm getting conflicting descriptions of the problem...

You CAN connect to this computer via VNC, and the only problem is you cannot send a CTRL+ALT+DEL?

Is uVNC running as a service and have you enabled SAS on the WinXP computer?

I've not looked for encryption-only, sorry.

At its core, VNC provides remote access to the computer's screens. This means what the remote viewer sees and what the person in front of the computer sees are the same.

There are innumerable solutions available for remotely manipulating a computer without affecting the local session, but VNC is ...

I use akRDC for Android. I can't find anything that allows me to use MSLogon and encryption, but this one does allow me to use MSLogon.

And to help others that come here and want a solution...

Type "vncviewer.exe /?" to see all available arguments.

vncviewer.exe /user MSUSER /password PASSWORD 10.0.0.100

I'm not sure if UltraVNC SC supports the Secure VNC Plugin, so it could be that. If that's not it, then I'm not going to be of any additional assistance as I don't use UltraVNC SC myself.

I've not found one that supports both encryption and MSLogon authentication.

No need to reply to a thread where the last response was 3.5 years ago. The information in here is no longer applicable to the latest version.

Make a command line parameter that allows the user to open the viewer specifying the top left pixel position.
Useful

Also have a mode where the screen tells you what position the top left pixel location is.
You can do this now programmatically. I'm guessing you meant the position of the Viewer ...

That sounds very odd. I use "netstat -a" to verify TCP 5900 (or w/e it's configured to) is in a LISTENING state.

I would troubleshoot this with the most basic and straight-forward config possible:
[X] Accept Socket Connections
[*] Ports Main: 5900
[ ] Enable JavaViewer
[ ] Allow Loopback ...

You could always try it, but I don't use singleclick so I can't speak to it as a solution.

RDP is the simplest option for accomplishing this.

If you can only use VNC to connect, you could RDP to the desired computer (CompA) from another one (CompB) and then connect to the other computer (CompB) via VNC. You would just need to run an instance of winvnc.exe inside the RDP session. It's a ...

I don't use DirectX mode, but it sounds like I should start.

Thanks!

This must be the most impressive bump I've ever seen. Over 3 years later and by the original author!

And to be on topic...I would also benefit from such a feature as almost everyone at my company has multiple monitors, and this would make interaction with them much quicker and more seamless.

Where does this "list" of "manage computers" come from? AD, LDAP, RADIUS, SQL, CSV file, TXT file? Rudi could always take on a project like this, but it doesn't sound very much worth the time when proper VNC Managers are already available.

I wrote my own wrapper around the VNCViewer.exe executable ...

I use freedns.afraid.org to host my domains as well as for dynamic DNS. I believe they provide a service similar to DynDNS should you not have your own domain to work with. I highly recommend them.

Create a batch file or a script file that performs the operation you need, and then setup a GPO to run that file.

From your post I can't tell if you've gotten a process down to make the security change, but if you haven't you aren't ready for the GPO part of it yet.

Sure

GPOs can push registry settings directly or run scripts, which is what we are already doing here.
