Wow is it just me or are the posts in this thread all over the place?

heyhey84, do you want to remotely access your Win2Kpro machine? If so you can load WinVNC on it to do it.

uwm03, you can restrict DHCP access to specific MAC Addresses if you really need to tighten it down. You can also isue "static" ip addresses using DHCP reservations.

uwm03, I have no idea who you are answering in your second post, but the DSCLIENT software can be found on the Win2K Server CD.

I hope you find this post helpful. Please let me know if it was.

How about using terminal services?

vbrocks, you can't TS to a Win2K Pro box, only server.

That said we are still waiting for clarification on the need.

I hope you find this post helpful. Please let me know if it was.

Hi markdmac,

if i had installed VNC on my win2k pro, can i remote access to my win2k pro using a winxp workstation without installing the VNC.

 

[markdmac]

No, your WinXP machine could not remote control the Win2K box without VNC. You would need to install the VNC viewer on your XP machine and the VNC server on the 2K box to accomplish your goal.

The problem you are facing is that Win2K Pro is not an RDP server like XP, 2K Server and 2K3 Server. Note also that XP and 2K3 are both RDP5 Servers while 2k is an RDP4 server. That si why XP and 2K3 can redirect local drives and printers and 2K can not.

I hope you find this post helpful. Please let me know if it was.

Good stuff, but you might want to check

I've used this to access a server in another town, while a freind from Puerto Rico accessed the same server, (I'm in the Chicago area), and we opened a session of notepad so we could communicate while we both worked on the server. Good luck.
