Is there an remote desktop like VNC on Vista ?

[Guest Hassan]

With tools like VNC, you can connect to another PC and observe what the

person on that PC is doing ?

 

Can you do that with Remote Desktop ? When I try to RDC in, I have my own

session, but I want to view what the person on the other machine is doing

 

Does Vista have something better ?

under remote assistance settings you can "allow this computer to be

controlled remotely"....but its not meant for just viewing what they're up

to....VNC is still better for that.

Remote Assistance would be what you are looking for:

You don't need Citrix to shadow user sessions, that's a native

feature of Windows TS, has been since W2K TS.

Start your own rdp session to the TS, and then use the shadow

command, or Terminal Services Manager.
