Lanview 4

[Don__1]

I know we are in the middle of holiday season but has anyone installed Lanview 4 yet?

I'm not back at school until September so won't be able to install and test in a working enviroment until then.

 

Maybe help others out here with any issues you find or tips to make using it easier.

I thought development on LanView had stopped this year at version 3

No quite true lanview 4 was released to people who donated yesterday. Kevin always said he would continue to write version 4 (but no support etc) to say thanks to people who donated etc.

LanView was well worth investing in, I didn't, but then, I'm not an ICT technician at the moment!

Was it decided if the source would be released so it could be supported?

[russdev]

No in end the source wasn't released.

I didnt receive my email from them (i donated) wonder if they are staggering the emails?

Got my email on Saturday, only issue the new LanView client is an .exe not an .msi .

@MikeW

 

There is an /extract:[path] option for the EXE that extracts the MSI version of the client installer. I have deployed the extracted MSI with AD to some clients and the installation appears to have worked correctly.

Kevin has said if not got the email then give him and a buzz at [email protected] and he will check the paypal records etc

Yes, please - if you did donate and have not received an email; either contact myself or Kevin and we will sort this.

Lanview 3 was great but 4 keeps saying that the ultra vnc password is wrong.

[Don__1]

The password used in Lanview4 is not the same as the password used in TightVNC(Lanview3).

See the other recent Lanview4 thread. http://www.edugeek.net/forums/network-classroom-management/40471-lanview-4-help.html

I have installed lanview4 server and it's working fine with most of the client computers but is there any way of customising the install to run vnc on a different port. I have ITalc installed in the student computer suites as many of the teachers use it and in these rooms the computers complain that vnc is already running. I have tried changing the .ini file in the ultravnc folder but it only seems to work for the app not the service. Any help on where i can change the port for the service greatly received.

 

Thanks

Been using Lanview 4 for a while and have noticed that the Tools, i.e. Scandisk and Checkdisk don't appear to run on the client PC's when told to do so. Was fine with Lanview3.

 

Also, the schedules aren't automatically applied at Lanview4 server startup. Seems like I have to alter an existing schedule item before the 'schedule' is enabled.

 

Anyone any ideas?
