Anyone using ultravnc on windows 7? We are, and it works for the most
part. We do run into the issue once in a while where the settings on
the ‘server’ (client pc) change on their own to things like:
Disable viewer inputs is enabled
the password gets changed
and some misc others, but these two severely hamper our ability to
remotely help users.
Anyone else run into this & figure out a way to resolve it?
I do have a copy of the ultravnc.ini file that I have copied to
machines via unc path, etc, and the settings seem to hold, just
wondering if anyone figured any other way to fix this.
I am using UltraVNC (sometimes) and set it to require Windows
credentials for remote access. I have not seen the problems you
describe on my UltraVNC servers - perhaps somebody or some application
is changing those settings.
More often I use TightVNC, which is IMO better over slow WAN links.

We have plenty of customers using ZCM who are otherwise all MS shops.[/color]
So my response to Joseph’s comment is…
I’m guessing that would mean add’l licensing. We will end up with only
Groupwise licensing eventually, and if we didn’t need exchange
licensing I’m sure we’d go that way.
Boss has even hinted around about dropping vmware since that requires
add’l licensing as well.
On my machine I VNC into, I’m running UltraVNC Win32 Server 1.0.9.6.1,
Build May 18 2011[/color]
So my response to kgroneman’s comment is…
That’s the build I’m running I believe, version anyway. Works fine for
the most part, just have machines now and then that decide to change
options & password out of the blue.

Correct, ZCM isn’t free. But you know if you are under 200 users
(for some reason I thought you were), you could look into NOWS-SBE
which is very affordable and would include ZCM. Heck looking at list
prices, one year of NOWS-SBE priority maintenance is actually a few
bucks less than one year of GW priority maintenance. And then you’d
have OES, GW, ZCM, ZESM, Vibe, and a few products from the SUSE folks.

Oops… so scratch the NOWS-SBE comment. Though you could still look
into regular NOWS, great way to get a bundle of products at a reduced
price.
Whether you do consider NOWS or not, still may be worth giving ZCM a
look. I couldn’t fathom running a 600-user shop without having some
sort of endpoint/desktop management solution in place.

Kinda used to it. I don’t see us looking at anything like that unless
it’s something that only needs M$ cals, since we had to buy a bunch of
those for our timeclock solution. Boss has direct orders to cut annual
operating costs, that’s a big reason for leaving edir for ad.

Hmm… leaving Novell to move to MS to save costs when MS is raising
their user CAL pricing as a result of more people using mobile devices
and also to make up for lack of Windows 8 sales. Interesting.
Regardless, ZCM doesn’t necessarily require any additional costs since
you can just leverage existing Windows servers or can be installed as
an appliance. And if anything, moving to some sort of endpoint
management solution is probably going to save costs in the long run.

Not my call. I’ve been fighting it for a long time. Boss wants to be
able to drop the annual edir maint on edir licensing…pathetic
