I would take a look at Ultr@VNC. Wonderful features in any environment. Take a look http://ultravnc.sf.net. Integrated Secure Tunneling, Proxy Redirection, and of course, client-side confirmation of connection (see http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/regserver.htm)

This program works wonderfully! I highly suggest it.

Hi,

My client's help desk requests for support is
growing, with more than 1,000 users its
understandable.
We need to find a software (not an outsourced
service) that will permit the technicians to take
control of the user's desktop for support
purposes.  The user MUST agree to the technician
taking control or even «peeking» at his desktop.

We've looked at a few but my concern is with
overall security.

We used to have VNC installed on a few machines a
couple of years ago but we removed it.

Is the latest version of VNC sufficient (security
wise)?

Can you share your experience with us please?
Suggestions or comments welcomed.

Thanks!

Marty
