Remote through Netmeeting

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

I am trying to figure out how to configure Netmeeting to
allow me to connect to, and take control of desktops on a
network. I have about 100 pc on my network, and have been
using VNC, but believe that netmeeting is more secure. My
problem is how do I configure the PC so the user does not
have to interact at all, or just to have them accept the
connection.

Thanks

Windows XP, and 2000 both have a program called "Remote
Desktop Connection" which is your most secure connection!
Just visit MSFT web-site and type in the name "Rem...
Conn.." and you can download the plug. Then all you need
is to know the IP address of the machine you want to
control. "Rem... Conn.." is in accessories,
communications folder. This is totally better then
Netmeeting for what you want to do. 1 thing to remember
when you login to the remote machine that machine will
log you in and log off whoever is sitting in front of it,
you will see the desktop as if you are sitting right
there cool feature - this is your free VNC !!

As for the security concerns, take a look at UltraVNC
(http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net) as it includes an encryption plugin
that will encrypt the session as well as a few other security
enhancements over the standard VNC server.
