Just a FYI - I had a customer come across this a while back and the suggestion that 'kwd' suggested worked for her. Good call. Steve Bostedor http://www.vncscan.com Network Management Made Simple

Hello, I haven't posted new VNCScan releases to the list as much as in the past but this one is so exciting that I couldn't help myself. The most exciting thing about this release is that you can now *remotely* reboot a Windows computer into safe mode (with networking) and then access it using VNC. It took a lot of research and work to get it so that the VNC service would automatically start in a safe mode boot but it seems to be pretty solid for Windows 2000 and above. I looked quite a bit and I couldn't find another program that does anything like this. You can read about this feature at http://www.vncscan.com/vs/VNC_in_SafeMode.htm The other real exciting thing about this release is that you can remotely enable the Windows Terminal Server and XP remote desktop as long as the firewall isn't blocking you and you have Admin privileges. You can read about this at http://www.vncscan.com/vs/Enabling_Remote_Desktop.htm VNCScan costs $40 (US) for a single Administrator to manage unlimited nodes. VNCScan has been around for about 5 years and was the first front end for VNC. It remains the leader today thanks to all of the support and suggestions from thousands of customers all over the globe. I invite you to give it a try by download a 30 day trial at http://www.vncscan.com Thank you, Steve Bostedor

Just a FYI, but the safe mode reboot support has been enhanced into a wizard in recent versions. Steve Bostedor http://www.vncscan.com More than just a VNC Manager!

While you can point the TCP/IP properties of the DC to access a DNS server on another server on the network, I suggest leaving it local. I am assuming that you mean an Active Directory domain. The reason that I say this is for availabillity. As a general rule, every one of your DC's should also be DNS servers for themselves and for all of the clients that authenticate against them. This way if they are cut off from the other DC's, they will still be able to authenticate and regsiter the computers that come to them. DNS really uses almost no resources on the server so it does no harm to leave it running and active. Why remove it? - Steve Bostedor http://www.vncscan.com
