Re: Remote Users Setup

Will UltraVNC let you restrict which software the remote person can use?

We have remote users who I only want to give them access to 2 pieces of
software, file transfer capability; not able to delete files; not able to
access any network drives.

I'm not a certified network administrator so.... this is new to me. We are
a very small business and we want people to be able to come into us but with
limited access. We are currently using WebEx for this function but WebEx
has become very unstable and I am very unhappy with its performance lately.

Any advice? Direction?

I had someone tell me that she uses RD and that she has seen it to where you
can view the screen of the remote user. I don't know if she knew what she
was talking about.

Thank you!

Different software operate differently. Some will not operate unless by a
user with adminitrator rights. Some, at installation, gives the option to
be enabled for all users instead of only the user who installs it.
Some software will run by a limited user if you elevate the user to an
administrator and install the program as that user, then change the user
back to a limited user. Some program can be run by limited users by
editing the registry or changing the security setting on some folder.

There are many variations and your best bet would be to find out from the
program developer or read the manual for each individual program. Unless
we have the name and version of the software we would only be guessing.

You have different services running on a windows machine system services,
local services and network services.Usually a system and network service
required by windows is started automatically. A service with under a user
name is started by a program been used by the user. So limiting the
software to the user usually uninstall the service.

Windows RDC will not allow the host computer user to be able to view the
screen while the remote user is logged in. There are other programs such
as windows messenger and UltaVNC which allows the host to be viewed and
manupulated at the same time.

Hope this helps.

Hello Everyone,

I've been wanting to setup a remote desktop connection on several
machines in our office for remote access for users with very limited
access.

I am having a few problems
1) After setting up & logging into a limited account, i receive many
error messages from various pieces of software installed on the machine.
How can i tell the computer not to run certain services for that
particular limited account? Also there are some pieces of software that
will not run in the limited account. How can i fix this?

2) Someone told me it is possible to few the screen on site instead of
when the remote user is logged in and goes to a windows logon screen. is
this true? I want to be able to see the screen at all times when the
remote person is accessing the computer and not just see a windows login
screen.

All of these machines are Windows XP Professional. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
