Configuring ISA server for winvne

[jasona45]

I have a windows 2000 server running ISA server basic edition and I am using winvnc i have a corporate office and remote facilitys. I can use winvnc from my desktop to remote to in office computers, but to use winvnc for remote facilitys I must do it through the server is there anyway i can eliminate doing it from my server and do it from my desktop. Users computers are all running windows 2000 pro and all have winvnc installed.

Thanks

I really don't understand what you want to do. But if you want to manage your servers both remotely and localy without working on your server itself. You can use Terminal Services or Remote Desktop Connection from your W2K desktop and for your remote site. You can use dial-up to connect if you dont have a persistent connection between sites.

Well, I can see that this post is QUITE old and nobody will most likely bother to read it, but since it's out here and it hasn't quite been totally fulfilled, I'll do it.

Jasona45, you will need to have a persistent connection between your machine and the target machines in order to run VNC from your location.

An internet connection will work if the target machine is connected directly to one. At that point you could launch a browser (from your location) and use the VNC web server on the target to get in. Simply put the URL in your browser that corresponds to DNS/IP mapping of the target.

Dial-up will do as well. Otherwise you will HAVE to get to that target machine via another, such as your TS box. Have you ever thought about using Citrix's NFuse product. Very neat little application. It will do what you are wanting to do and then some.

Hope this helps...if you read this at all. Be blessed!
