Free remote access to machines for education?

[bitminter]

Hello!

 

I am wondering if anyone knows of any remote access software (like teamviewer etc.) that is free, or free for education? or am presuming no, but you don't loose anything by asking!

I know we have remote desktop connection built into windows, but I need something that will not boot the other person off.

 

Many thanks.

TightVNC?

We use SCCM, it doesn't kick the current user off - obviously this only works internally.

We use UltraVNC with AD Authentication. You have to be in a specific AD group to be allowed to remotely connect and for your AD authentication to work, so easy to manage who has access.

Remote Assistance? it's built into windows, just need a gpo to ensure it's enabled

Abtutor isn't free but is darn good.

^^^ We use this for staff and ABTutor for students.

If you're just looking for remote viewing, then LanSchool Lite is free-of-charge for Education and will give you thumbnail-grid view and full-screen remote screen viewing.

 

If you specifically need remote KB/M control then TightVNC as suggested above is great - and of course, you can layer/combine both products for a 'best of both' :-)

I'm using RealVNC.

Thank you for all your responses! From what you have suggested it seems likely be TightVNC that we will be using.

Thanks once again!

Abtutor is brilliant

I've used various but ABTutor is by far the best. And cheaper than other solutions.
