I think we have more than a few Hyena users that may be interested to know that 4.3 is out. This new version has incorporated VNC for remote control. SystemTools has been kind enough to provide Remote Control Manager for free under GNU licensing.

VNC Rocks!

Way faster than (IMHO):

PC Anywhere
Remote Desktop

The remote control manager is great...

It installs the client, starts it, starts the viewer, then stops and uninstalls it.

A stand alone exe and a cfg file with the vnc files in network share.

its speed beats SMS also...

That stinks! I just finished my own Kix script to do exactly what that does!

I think I'll stick with the one I created since I wasted so much time on it.

I assume you guys mean Tight VNC...

http://www.tightvnc.com

Jens could roll it into his KSMS...

Hmm, my tool of choice is actually Remote Administrator from http://www.radmin.com

I'm using it over a 56k connection from home if I need to do something over the weekend like rebooting a server and such.

Wow! 150 times faster than VNC?

What protocols is it using?

Not sure about the 150 times but if I use it on my local net e.g. a 10MBit switched or hubbed conenction and maximize the window, then I am unable to tell whether I see my local maschine or the remote maschine I'm connected to.

Also, I am limiting screen refreshes to 10 time sper second although I could easily use 100 times per second. However, there's significant CPU processing power associated with 100 refreshes whereas 10 times is not noticable.

Just download the 30-day demo and give it a try.

Jens, Hmmm... $45,000 vs FREE which should I choose?

It may be nice,small, and quick, but the price tag for Enterprise use is near the price of SMS (which does a heck of a lot more)

Unfortunately they along with many other software vendors assume that the Corporate world has endless pocket books. WinZip was much nicer... we got it for less then a dollar a seat in quantity. This company wants $15 per seat in quantitiy.

I can vouch for RAdmin as well. I purchased a license over a year ago and like the program very much. Of course, it's not as $free$ as WinVNC or TightVNC, but it is fast and employes 128-bit encryption.

I used Hyena in the past, it was fine, but as I got into larger networks, it slowed down. I have recently found Dameware (www.dameware.com). Wasn't free, but wasn't very expensive.

Now if it had app deployment built in......

well, I had dameware.

but then found remote admin (http://www.famatech.com/) and feel good.
I rather use it than terminal server when administering servers... (I'm in love)

Lonkero,

Your famatech is the same product and link as Jens shows above.
Which as I say is great for a few users maybe, but for an
Enterprise solution it would cost us about $45,000 dollars to
implement. VNC on the other hand is FREE. Yes, not as quick
or feature rich, but much easier on the wallet.
I don't know about you, but trying to convince the Finance Dept
that you need $45,000 for one piece of software in these times
of reduced profit is not very easy at best. We have been asked
to find cheaper/better means to accomplish our desired tasks.
Remote Administrator for $45,000 does not fit into that category
for us. But hey...if you work somewhere where there willing to
pay that much, thats great too.

Both link to 216.40.217.15
http://www.radmin.com
http://www.famatech.com

Terminal Server Admin is also free for Servers, but does nothing for the Desktops.

Well if you want to get technical... XP has TS for the desktop as well. [Big Grin]

yeah...

one point though. administering server tasks with terminal service...
nogo.
I tried it and it seems to work fine but when you get to console it has done actually nothing.

radmin is also "free" for 30 day trial [Big Grin] .

Yes it does Les, but we don't run XP [Frown]

Lonkero... Not sure what you're doing, I've used Terminal Server Admin for a while now. It works great. Don't forget you're at Console 1 not Console 0 meaning you have a session that is not seen directly on screen by another user as you would with product like pcAnywhere.

As far as licensing, going around the back door in the Corporate Environment is not an option either. Not worth possibly being sued over. The US is VERY sue happy. They will sue you at the drop of a hat. Most products are on the HONOR System, they have nothing to prevent you from running as many times as you want.

TS Admin works great but I don't use it for everything. I install to my wksta, adminpak.msi from the SP CD to do much of my remote administering. I also hack in some of the NT4 tools to my wksta since I'm still on an NT4 domain. Then again I've got SMS as well (yuck! [Razz] ).

The cool thing with this VNC wrapper is that it pushes VNC out just when you need it and tears it down afterwards.

doc, you're right [Wink]

anyway, the problem with ts is that if I stop a virus scanner on my server or re-schedule arcserve job and disconnect, go to console one log on and check the changes, it says there has been no changes.

btw, the radmin is for corporate 4,500 and it's cheap as many tools cost us lot's more and the companyes still believe ppl buy those things!
