The downside to Dameware is that you lose the ability to manage passwords (length, complexity, duration, etc), since 
Dameware doesn't authenticate via AD like RDP does.  By using a simple PW for Dameware, users can effectively bypass 
all of your password requirements.

Jim,
We have been using Dameware for several years now to support our the workstations of our administrative staff without 
incident.  One of the nice security features is the ability for the service to completely remove itself upon 
disconnection from the machine once you're done working on it.  We've had no issues with running both Dameware and 
Symantec AV (starting with 8.x and currently at 10.x).  Please feel free to contact me off list for additional 
information.
Best,
Cathy

We have a vendor that supports our conference room display units wanting to replace RealVNC and RDP to those displays 
with the Dameware mini remote control application. Does anyone have any experience with this product and its security 
and encryption?
