We just need to be able to view another workstation on our network and control it if necessary. We don't need file syncing and all that other stuff. Live Mesh sounds like way more than what I'm looking for. I was doing a little digging on the two other tools you guys referenced. Can you provide some screen shots of the settings you are using for the VNC Server and the VNC Client? Edit: doing some research, take a look at the following link: Also try not using the Set Password feature, see if that works. I would give Bubba's solution a shot for Installing in compatibility mode. However, I understand why you would not use Remote Desktop based on your response. Systems Management Server is a good way to manage systems and services along your network while providing valuable tools.

You are not using any extra overhead, managing a secondary service.

Using Systems Management Server is one I've suggested may provide you with a better solution than VNC. When the person disconnects, the user can log back in. It just simply locks the session and allows the user connecting to view the desktop. Remote Desktop disconnects any users that may be logged in (Unless it just isn't configured right, I don't know I haven't looked at settings).
