remote connection to Windows 2000

[Guest UWRFREPORTER04]

Is there a way to have a remote desktop connection into Windows 2000?

 

From what I understand there is not a remote desktop connection like XP, but

wondering if there is another way to connect to a windows 2000 pc across a

domain.

Yes, you just need to enable terminal services.

if you want to enable everyone to connect to it (users, not admins) then you

need to choose and setup the user option

other options would be to use netmeeting or VNC, both are free,

Sorry, this won't work. If you read the bottom of the article you refer

to then you will see that terminal services are only available for

Windows 2000 server, not workstation. The OP would have to

use WinXP Pro or a third-party product such as WinVNC, as

mentioned by paganize.

It's for me or an other administrator to log on to a 2000 workstation pc if

needed (not server).

 

I tried downloading the remote desktop download from microsoft, but figured

it wouldn't be that easy.

 

What do you recommend being the simpliest and easiest way to implement this?

 

I'm not familiar with either netmeeting or vnc

I have used WinVNC extensively. You will probably find that

it's not straightforward to set it up until you become familiar

with its concept. Post again if you need more help!

I've used RealVNC for some years. It's straightforward to install - a

main program (server) on the target machine with a viewer on the other

machines. For a basic install it's mostly a question of using the

defaults and choosing the security settings you prefer. I had mine

running (top floor of my house to basement machine) in about 5 - 10 minutes.

I was able to test it and get it to work in net meeting. I can try to look

into WinVnc and see how that works. Net meeting seems to work for what I

need it for.
