Running 20 vnc's at the same time

Post by adrixmetalcore »

Hello everyone, I have small business with 20 stores and each store has one computer.

What I want to do is have a central and in the central have one screen for each store, to monitor the computers.

How can I do this? Is it better to build 1 or 2 computers that can have 10 or 20 screens, or have 20 cheap computers, or maybe build a server? I have I've never built a server, but maybe it is the best option, is it possible to have 20+ screens on a server?

Thanks

VNC is not made for this.
Even with 20 screens, you still have one common keyboard and mouse.
You realy need a rdp server for this

I think what he's asking for is a single computer in the central location to be able to remotely view each of the 20 computers distributed across the multiple stores. If this is correct, then yes this is easily doable.

You can just run a single instance of the VNC Viewer for each computer you want to control. This means you would have 20 VNC Viewer windows open. Not clean, but does what you want.

If you want to see all 20 windows at the same time, then you can carefully scale each viewer window so all 20 fit, or you can find some VNC Viewer Console-esque program that will host all sessions within itself whereby it manages the layout of all the screens.
