If you need to access Windows from Unix then VNC is the answer, otherwise stick to Windows Terminal Services (which are pretty good in Windows XP and Windows 2003.  Both as a server and as a client for Windows TightVNC rules.

TightVNC client has an option sending this key sequence to Windows (left-click mouse of the client and see "send Crtl-Alt-Del" option.  Also F8 function key can be used:

Q: Is there a way to send ctrl-alt-del from VNC on Linux? VNC'ing to a Windows box sometimes requires that.
A: Focus on the VNC window, then hit F8
VNC server allow you to view your Windows desktop from any VNC viewer. Because Windows in its present, standard incarnation, only supports a single graphical user being logged in at any one time, WinVNC makes the existing desktop of the PC available remotely, rather than creating a separate desktop as happens with the Unix server. It is only fair to emphasize this: VNC does not make an NT machine into a multi-user server in the same way that Citrix does.

It is a standard application that can be run from the Start... menu and closed down just as easily.  It can also be run as a service, which means that you can log in remotely, do some work, and log out again. We recommend that you run it in this mode. See below for more details.

TightVNC: Manual Page for Xvnc(1) Const Kaplinsky [email protected] has developed TightVNC, a version of VNC providing better compression for use with slow links than the standard VNC 3.3.3 release. Although it includes a number of extensions to the standard VNC distribution, TightVNC remains compatible with existing versions. The TightVNC homepage is at http://www.tightvnc.com/

TightVNC is fully compatible with the standard RFB protocol used in VNC, so you can use TightVNC viewer with the standard VNC server and vice versa. But note that protocol enhancements implemented in TightVNC will work only if these enhancements are supported on both sides of the connection.

TightVNC Features

Here is a brief list of TightVNC features absent in the standard VNC.

[Jul 23, 2011] TightVNC 2.0.95

freshmeat.net

TightVNC is a VNC distribution with many new features, improvements, and bugfixes over VNC. It is optimized for faster operation on slow network links such as modem connections, provides more configuration options in the server, features automatic SSH tunneling in the Unix vncviewer, and more. The modified servers and viewers are fully compatible with the original VNC software.

This release only updates TightVNC Java Viewer. This is the first public release of version 2.0. The viewer was redesigned and rewritten from the scratch. It features a Swing-based user interface, improved speed, and better code architecture.

The Old Joel on Software Forum - RDC vs. TightVNC vs. RealVNC

RDC is better, but works well only against XP or WIN2K3 (or Citrix ..); It also transports sound. Also, on XPs that do support it, it disables the local user.

UltraVNC is very good, and works on just about any Windows version.

[Apr 21, 2007] UltraVNC Remote Support Software, Remote Support tool, Remote Desktop Control, Remote Access Software, PC Remote Control

UltraVNC sports a number of advanced features making it unique among the various flavours of VNC. A special graphics mirror driver for ultrafast remote controlling, integration of Windows authentication and various encryption plugins provide superior functionality.

Coding Horror Comment on VNC vs. Remote Desktop

Comments on "VNC vs. Remote Desktop"

There is also UltraVNC with supports screen scaling and file transfers (TightVNC has added file transfers in the dev version too). Only thing is that UltraVNC doesn't have a Linux server version. Also, be wary of the hook driver. Starting with XP SP2 we started getting blue screens with the IRQ NOT LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO until it was removed. Not on every machine, but enough that we stopped installing the hook driver on client machines. Actually, now that I think about it, I think it was mostly on TabletPCs. Your mileage may vary.

Ryan McGinty on July 12, 2005 06:18 AM

"Note that a few key sequences, such as CTRL+ALT+DEL, can't be intercepted by any remote desktop client, even in fullscreen mode."

Using Remote Desktop Client, you can send these combinations to the remote machine. When making a connection, check the tab "Local Resources", and set the keyboard to "On the remote computer".

Remco on July 12, 2005 06:23 AM

SC UltraVNC is also incredibly useful. It's a packed EXE version of UltraVNC server that does a reverse connection to a listener without having to be installed. Why? Because I distribute it to all my customers, and they are a double-click away from connecting back to me at the office for remote tech support. It's small, light and fast enough even without the video hook driver. You can build your own at: http://sc.uvnc.com/index.php?section=12.

DavidF on July 12, 2005 08:55 AM

It is a little misleading to say that tightVNC (or by association RealVNC, UltraVNC and others) are not secure. At the very least there is always a username password verification that is required for a VNC connection. There is also ways to set up a SSL tunnel scenario with VNC.

Also I use UltraVNC almost every day and have no problem VNCing into a system with multiple monitors.

And due to the nature of Ctrl-Alt-Delete there is always going to be some alternate method for sending that key combination to a remote system. UltraVNC (and all the other VNCs that I have messed with) have ways of sending this key combination to the remote host.

Anywhat, I use both Remote Desktop and UltraVNC and if you can't tell I prefer UltraVNC.

Kurt Frank on July 12, 2005 09:01 AM

The latest (or near-latest) version of UltraVNC handles multiple monitors, too. I've had no problems seeing all of a triple-headed setup remotely. (with scrolling, of course)

[Mar 24, 2007] freshmeat.net Project details for Enhanced TightVNC Viewer

Enhanced TightVNC Viewer 1.0.14 released
The Enhanced TightVNC Viewer package is part of the x11vnc VNC server project. It provides a native VNC viewer that takes advantage of new features in x11vnc, e.g. cursor alpha blending and automatic SSL tunnelling. Some features apply to any VNC server, e.g. automatic SSH tunnelling. Another goal is to provide a package that conveniently bundles everything needed for the user to have the enhanced viewer running quickly. This includes pre-built binaries of the viewer and utility programs for Windows and many Unix variants, and a GUI to configure and launch the viewer. The short name for this project is "ssvnc", for SSL/SSH VNC viewer.

Release focus: Minor bugfixes

Changes:
Using port numbers lower than VNC's default port (5900) now works on Windows (for example, myhost.com:443).

[Jun 20, 2005] Logging into NT service from Linux VNC client

TightVNC client has an option sending this key sequence to Windows (left-click mouse of the client and see "send Crtl-Alt-Del" option.

Q. How can I send an ALT-CTRL-DEL from a Linux XFree VNC client to an NT server (running VNC as a service) to login? It seems that the Alt-Ctrl-Del to gobbled up by Xfree (or maybe something else?) and not sent to the server. My SunOS client sends the Alt-Ctrl-Del fine. There is no pull-down item to sent it like on a Win95 client.

TIA...

I would suggest that this be added to the FAQ.

[Nov 06, 2004] Using Windows VNC on standard ports

The VNC (Virtual Network Computing) application is quite a popular program for use as a remote control application. The program is free, and Open Source and can be used in a wide variety of situations. One thing VNC it is not, is easy to configure if you want to do something different...

In this article I will describe how to setup the VNC Server (On Windows) to use ports that are commonly used on the Internet.

One typical reason you would want the VNC server you run in your home on a different port is that you may not be able to the default ports VNC uses when installed. The VNC server uses port 5900 by default and if you decide to change something called a "Display Number - More on this later" the port number changes to 5900 plus whatever number you typed as the display number.

Background

First, a little background. The VNC application consists of two pieces the first being the "server" that serves the desktop of a computer and a "viewer" that allows you to connect to a desktop of a computer. The nice thing about VNC is that you can use it on many platforms, UNIX, Linux, Windows and all sorts of other platforms as viewers. Given the differences in these platforms, VNC's use becomes confusing because the terminology VNC uses does not change across versions.

On the Unix/Linux platform VNC runs and serves out desktops that are in addition to the one run at the console. These desktops are called displays when you read this in the VNC Documentation. With your UNIX/Linux version you also have the option of specifying a port number by way of the "-rfbport" options when running the Xvnc server. The default port is 5900 plus whatever display number you use when you start the server. In the case of UNIX/Linux VNC is used allot like Citrix Metaframe in the Windows world.

Now we get to Windows where things change. VNC cannot do what Citrix does on Windows mainly because of the Operating System limitations. VNC on Windows then, is only used to serve out the desktop/console of a Windows computer. On Windows there are two components - the server "winvnc.exe" and the client "vncviewer.exe". if you run the server, then run the client and connect to the server's IP address, you get a connection. This connection, by default is on port 5900.

Dealing with ports

You should know that older versions of VNC did not let you change the port at all. You would have had to change, and recompile the source code provided to have a new port number. In recent versions (this article is based on 3.3.7) the port number can be controlled, but must also deal with Display Numbers and a number of other confusing settings to make it all work..

To change the port number of your VNC Server you must first install VNC (goes without saying) and once installed, edit the registry location where the VNC ports settings exist. You find the port settings in this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareORLWinVNC3

You first want to set the value for "AutoPortSelect" to 0 (it defaults to 1). This will stop the VNC server from automatically setting the port number. The second thing you want to do is create a "DWORD" entry in the same key called "PortNumber" if it does not already exist. Once created set this number to the Decimal (not Hex) number of the port you would like to use. In this article I will use examples of three well-known ports 21 (FTP), 23 (Telnet), and 80 (Web). If you have set the "PortNumber" value to the Telnet port you will see (on the same line in regedit):

PortNumber.............REG_DWORD...........0x00000017(23)

Now run your VNC Server and set other options that might be in the configuration dialog box.

What's with the configuration window?

Funny you should ask, if you set the port number to 21, the VNC Server configuration dialog says the display number is "4294961417", if you set the port number to 23, "4294961419" and finally port 80, "4294961476". if you look closer, you will see a pattern, but in the interest of time leave the number the way it is. You might be asking a question, If I put the above numbers into the configuration window, will the corresponding port number be used? The answer is no - at least not on the version I have tested. It appears as though the VNC server configuration was not built to handle number like this. So, now that the port is the way you would like, lets look at connecting to the server.

Connecting with the VNC Client

So, by now you see how this who "Display Number" setting is starting to make things confusing. You might be asking yourself "why didn't they just give us a port number option?". Good question, because it gets worse. When you connect to the VNC server you use the VNC client application. This application opens up a window that gives you one area to type in text that corresponds to the server you would like to connect to. The structure of this connection is as follows:

ipaddress or host:[display number]

The IP address or host is required and is the IP address or hostname of the computer running the VNC Server and the display number is optional defaulting to 0 if you put nothing. If you just put the IP address of our server running on the special port, you'll find that it won't work - because its looking for port 5900 by default. The trick is to use the display number.

You can use the display number in two ways, both of them make no sense - but hey! This program is free. You can use the corresponding huge numbers to connect like this (IP is an example only):

Port 21
200.200.200.200:4294961417

Port 23
200.200.200.200:4294961419

Port 80
200.200.200.200:4294961476

But! there is a lesser-known way to do that that might be a bit easier to remember. You just take the port your connection to, and then subtract 5900 from that number. Your left with a negative number in the -5877 format that can be used to connect. So, I'll do the above with these numbers:

Port 21
200.200.200.200:-5879

Port 23
200.200.200.200:-5877

Port 80
200.200.200.200:-5820

There you have it! Now you know how to setup your VNC server on port 21,23, or 80 and how to use the client to connect to your home. If you have any other ports you would like to use or more information on how how VNC works let me know.

Remotely Control Any NT Machine

Imagine the following situation: You have a Windows NT server that is physically inaccessible but reachable by TCP (e.g., it's in a remote office). You have the Administrator account for the machine, but you can't accomplish the task you need to perform using the standard NT management tools. In addition, the remote system doesn't have a remote control program installed. In this situation, you can install AT&T Laboratories Cambridge's Virtual Network Computing (VNC), a freeware remote control tool, without physically accessing the machine.

You'll need to complete a few steps to set up and use the tool. First, determine the Administrator password of the remote machine. Next, download the VNC distribution from http://www.uk .research.att.com/vnc and make sure you have the Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Resource Kit Regini tool and the Shutdown and Netsvc tools.

After you download the VNC distribution, extract the VNC files from the distribution package. The simplest way to accomplish this task is to install VNC on a test machine. The installation automatically creates the C:\program filesorl\vnc directory, which includes all but one of the files that you need to run VNC. The missing file is omnithread_ rt.dll, and you can find it in the \winntsystem32 directory. Copy the missing file to the C:\program files\orl\vnc directory.

Next, use the following commands to copy the VNC directory to the target machine:

NET USE \\<remote machine IP>
\IPC$ /user:administrator password

MKDIR "\\<remote machine IP>
\C$\program files\orl\vnc"

COPY "c:\program files\orl\vnc" "\\<remote machine IP>
\C$\program files\orl\vnc"

For VNC to successfully run, you'll also need to create registry entries on the target machine. To load the remote target machine's registry, use the following command:

REGINI -m \\<remote machine IP> vnc.regini

Listing 1, page 28, shows vnc.regini. The Regini command registers VNC as an automatic startup service on the remote machine. In addition, it sets the default VNC password as the remote machine's password.

The final step is to start the VNC on the remote server. You can use two methods to start VNC on the remote machine: You can use the At command to schedule VNC to start, or you can use Shutdown.exe to force a shutdown. The At method is less disruptive but requires the Scheduler service to be running on the remote system. The Scheduler service isn't started by default, so you might need to use the following command to start it manually:

NETSVC \\<remote machine IP> schedule /start

To use the At method to schedule VNC to start, execute the following command to read the time on the remote server:

NET TIME \\<remote machine IP>

Then, schedule an At command to run a couple of minutes after the time that the previous command returned, as the following example shows:

AT \\<remote machine IP> 00:00 "c:\program files\orl\vnc
\winvnc.exe"

Wait a few minutes and launch vncviewer.exe to connect to the remote machine.

As a last option, you can use the Shutdown command to remotely reboot the server:

SHUTDOWN \\<remote machine IP>
 /R /Y /C /T:0

This command brings up VNC listening as a service.

Virtual Network Installation


Similar to Microsoft Terminal Services, Virtual Network Computing (VNC) allows a system administrator to use a server to install applications or perform configuration tasks on a remote server while the user on the remote server views the tasks that occur.

Contents

Before You Begin

Review the following information before you install VNC:

About VNC Terminology

In this document, master server refers to the server where the user initiates, performs, and manages tasks; the remote server(s) receives the software or configuration information from the master server.

About Compatible Operating System Versions

Make sure that you have installed Cisco-provided operating system version 2000.2.3 on all servers that will use VNC. For information on upgrading the operating system, refer to the documentation for the version of the Cisco CallManager upgrade that runs in the cluster.

If an earlier version of VNC is installed on the server, uninstall the older version before performing the procedures in this document.

About Security Risks

Be aware that using VNC poses a security risk by making the cluster vulnerable to attacks.

Installing VNC opens a network port, which may make the server vulnerable to attacks. A network scanner will show port 5800 "VNC => Remote Control Software" and allow an attacker to access the server.

During the VNC installation, enter a complex alphanumeric password for VNC. VNC limits the password to eight characters.

To minimize security risks, set the VNC service to Manual startup and start it only during remote management. This action ensures that users must enter a Windows user name/password that the server can authenticate before starting the service.

Disable Terminal Services if you no longer plan to use it for remote management.

About Upgrading VNC

When you upgrade the operating system or run an operating system patch on the server, make sure that you review the operating system readme document for information on upgrading VNC. Cisco provides the VNC upgrade files in the operating system upgrade and/or operating system support patch, although Cisco does not automatically install these files on the server.

Installing and Configuring VNC

Perform the following procedure to install and configure VNC Version 3.3.3r9 on all servers that will use VNC.

Procedure

Step 1 Using Windows Explorer, browse to the following folder:

C:\utils\VNC\vnc_x86_win32\winvnc

Step 2 In the winvnc folder, double-click Setup.exe.

Step 3 The welcome window displays. Click Next.

Step 4 Click Yes to accept the software license agreement.

Step 5 Accept the default location or choose a new location for installing the application, and then click Next.

Step 6 Accept the default folder name or choose a new folder; then, click Next.

The program installs.

Step 7 In the Setup Complete window, click Finish.

Step 8 Choose Start > Programs > VNC > Administrative Tools > Install WinVNC Service.

A message box indicates that the service has been successfully installed.

Step 9 Start the VNC service by choosing Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Services.

Right-click VNC service; then, click Start.

Step 10 For new installations, a message indicates that you must set the default password for VNC. Click OK.

The WinVNC: Default Local System Properties dialog box displays, as shown in Figure 1.


Figure 1 WinVNC: Default Local System Properties Dialog Box


Step 11 In the Incoming Connections pane, enter a password in the Password field. You can choose any password of up to eight characters that you want to use. You will use this password to open a VNC session between servers.

Step 12 Click OK.

Step 13 Set the VNC service to Manual startup type by choosing Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Services.

Step 14 Double-click VNC Server.

Step 15 In the Startup type field on the General tab, choose Manual.

Step 16 In the Service status area, click Stop if the service is running.

Step 17 Click OK.

Step 18 If you do not want to use Microsoft Windows Terminal Services, double-click Terminal Services in the Services pane. In the Startup type field on the General tab, choose Disabled.

The service does not stop until you reboot the server.

Step 19 Click OK.

Step 20 Repeat Step 1 through Step 19 on all servers that will use VNC to interact.

You can use Terminal Services to download and install VNC on the servers, or you can ask someone with access to the servers to perform the installation procedure.



Starting a Remote Server from the Master Server

If you want to start a remote server via VNC, perform the following procedure:

Procedure

Step 1 From the master server, map a drive to the remote server by using the server name (not the IP address).

Step 2 Right-click My Computer and choose Manage.

Step 3 Choose Action > Connect to another computer.

The Select Computer dialog box displays.

Step 4 In the Name field, enter the name of the server in which you want to connect; then, click OK.

Step 5 In the Computer Management window, double-click Services and Applications.

Step 6 If an Internet Services Manager dialog displays, click Yes.

Step 7 Click Services.

Step 8 Right-click VNC Server; then, choose Start.

Using the Master Server to Perform Tasks on the Remote Server

Perform the following procedure to complete installation or configuration tasks via VNC:

Step 1 On the master server, choose Start > Programs > VNC > Run VNCviewer.

The Connection Details dialog box displays, as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2 Connection Details dialog box

Step 2 In the VNC server field, enter the IP address of the remote server on which you want to install the software or perform a configuration task.

Step 3 Click OK.The VNC Authentication dialog box displays, as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3 VNC Authentication Dialog Box
Step 4 In the Session password field, enter the password that you specified in Step 11 in the "Installing and Configuring VNC" section.

Step 5 Click OK.

The desktop of the remote server displays.

Step 6 From the master server, install software or perform configuration tasks on the remote server.


Caution Make sure that you insert installation CD-ROMs into the CD-ROM drive of the remote server or download the files from the web onto the remote server.


Note

Step 7 Stop the VNC Server service.

Step 8 Perform the procedures in "Starting a Remote Server from the Master Server" and "Using the Master Server to Perform Tasks on the Remote Server" for each remote server on which you want to perform installation or configuration tasks.
