Roid<br><br>There is a free program called VNC that I use.&nbsp;&nbsp;It can be used over the network or over the internet.<br>As for how secure it is I don't know, but Ive never had a problem (touch wood) - just enable the ports it uses in proxy filter or on your router and you should be fine.<br>Just remember to make sure that the service is started automatically.<br>If only one of your servers has a live IP then you can just start a vnc session on that server and vnc into the other servers over the LAN<br>All documentation can be found on the site: <A HREF="

free what can I say.&nbsp;&nbsp;Try it<br>

VNC if used properly is as secure as any other piece of software, but is more robust than the server it runs on <br><br>If you use a different port to the default 5800 and a password that is not a word and ensure that the server in question always has been logged out locally for more security then it is fine.<br><br>I administer my NT Servers from home that way - VNC is my fave piece of software, it is the most robust and its free...

The most secure and reliable way is to set up a terminal server on your domain with internet access and a worldly ipaddress.&nbsp;&nbsp;Install the client on your home machine and login as if you were there.&nbsp;&nbsp;The benefit here is all administrative traffic remains inside your domain and not over the internet. <p>Robin Ptasiuk<br><a href=mailto:rptasiuk@home.com>rptasiuk@home.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>MCSE, MCT

Yeap...The terminal Server is the best way to manage the Server from ur desktop.<br><br>This Operating system comes along with the Service Pack 4 of Windows NT4.0 and its an integarted one along the Windows 2000 cd.<br><br>The information can be browsed from <br><A HREF="
