-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 W, VNC provides the functionality you are looking for. Most VNC software will allow the VNC server, which would be installed on your clients' machines, to make outbound connections directly to a listening VNC viewer. You do not go through any third party systems during VNC sessions like you do with Gotomypc and Logmein. You can encrypt these VNC sessions through SSH tunnels for an extra layer of security. You can create a short cut on your clients' desktops so they can just double click on the icon and be connected to your support help desk. W W wrote:
Our helpdesk is looking at some third party remote management tools like Gotomypc and Logmein to remotely manage our road warriors. What are some of the best practices for using these services? My initial thought is to not allow these services as your network credentials are being passed through their infrastructure (ie when you log into a remote users laptop with your network admin creds) with no oversight. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
