Pros: I have a Windows 2000 machine that ineed to keep to support some customers, but it is not Professional so it doesn't have Remote Desktop Access. VNC works very well under these circumstances. Plus it's free.
Cons: Somewhat slower than terminal services and sometimes it doesn't show the proper colors.
Pros: Must have if you are serious in remote desktop networking. I didn't need to read the help to get things moving, so it must be very easy. I've seen many different remote control programs in work, and I think SmartCode VNC Manager is the best choice for administrators because of its features, security, and reliability.
Cons: The price could be a little bit lower. But these guys provide great support so by the end of the day the product worth its price tag.
Pros: I sent my comment few days ago, but since it has not appeared, I'll resubmit it again.
I am using VNC Manager since version 2.0 and it has improved a lot! VNC Thumbnails feature is great, but especially useful are remote management tools like Remote VNC Deployment, Wake-on-LAN, Network Scan and others. I was glad when I figured out that version 3.5 got Microsoft Virtual Server supported.
Would I recommend to use the VNC Manager to administer a computer network?! Definitely yes!
