tosca925 Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Do you use any of these on your network. We offer Assistance to certain indivduals in school but to be honest we dont use it much. I was was just wondering what you lot do or use on your networks. Also i belive if you use Remote Desktop you have to enable a policy in Domain GPO is this correct and if has any one done it?
webman Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 We use Omniquad Instant Remote Control in our Windows 2000 AD network (XP clients). AFAIK, it uses RPC and the XP "remote assistance" features, so requires no application installation on the client
Dos_Box Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Netsupport Manager is the best IMHO. Fanstasic multiplatform support and excellent remote admin tools. You also get Netsupport School bundled with it so the teachers can control classes, block internet access for a lesson or for a troublesome pupil etc. All in all, a wonderful product.
MkII Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 TightVNC & VNC Con here, I also use Remote Desktop to access the servers.
Sirbendy Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Famasoft Radmin. Not excellent, but good enough. Comapny are crap though, I reckon. Support is ropey too.
Crusader Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 We also use Dameware Mini Remote Control. Best one by far!
MkII Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 We also use Dameware Mini Remote Control. Best one by far! Damn expensive tho!
spc-rocket Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Go with the free one!! Untra VNC and VNC are brilliant. We use Remote Desktop on the servers. Ashok.
ajbritton Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Latest version of UltraVNC no longer conflicts with windows terminal services. This means you can enable both on XP PCs and have the choice of RDP and VNC.
john Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 Netsupport manager here, love it, best thing sinced sliced bread
sahmeepee Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 Dameware here... home-scripted VNC gubbins at the last place. No complaints with either really.
Oops_my_bad Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 We also use Dameware Mini Remote Control. Best one by far! Damn expensive tho! We've taken advantage of the generous US-GBP exchange rate and just bought the full NT utils. Absoloutely crackin piece of software and well worth the money, IMO.
maniac Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 We have ranger remote control on all student machines, which I believe is based on netsuppot school. Good product, does most things you would expect of a remote support package. Mike.
Joedetic Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Netsupport based something or other i think we had. Dameware is built on VNC and uses far more processor on each of the machines it has the client running on than VNC does (or so I was told by an analyst)......
Oops_my_bad Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Dameware is built on VNC and uses far more processor on each of the machines it has the client running on than VNC does (or so I was told by an analyst)...... When it's not doing anything it ticks over at 0%, it only starts to use the CPU when you connect. If it's an issue you can set the agent so it only runs when you connect to it. You can do this either via the MSI builder or the next time you connect. The only thing I didn't like about VNC (which ever derivation of it you used) was it always felt sluggish. Dameware feels more responsive even over unreliable/high latency wan links (cough the LEA's cough)
john Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 I still say NetSupport Manager rocks! Can't fault it at all.
ScottLogan Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 We use crosstec schoolvue. its not perfect though
