Do anyone know of any software to remotly view my client's desktops? I am a network manager in a school, and it would be very useful to see what is going on remotly.

If it could scan through all the clients screens displaying each one for a few seconds that would be even better!

Not sure about scanning through desktops for a few seconds, but have a look at MS NetMeeting [Free] or Remote Assistance is you are using XP. Or try some commercial software like PCAnywhere or, damn, what's it's name - VNU?

VNC is what I am using now. This enables me to view the desktop, I'd just like to be able to set it up to automatically scan through all my clients.

Also I don't want the end user to realise I'm looking......

what OS are your clients running? If its XP you can use the built in remote assitance function. But, I think you have to have the user invite you to help to be able to see their desktop.
 
I have a mixture of clients - they are NT4, 2000 and XP.

I definatly need to be able to look without the client realising - so it isn't ideal if the user on the client machine has to accept!!
