Virtual Screen?

[Guest]

Hello,
I have several Panel PCs running XPe and have them configured for WinLogon,
CF with EWFMGR, and enough networking components installed to map a drive to
a shared folder on a networked XP pro system.

My question is: Is it possible from the XP pro system to display the actual
screens that are being displayed on the XP embedded panel PCs? I can do a
remote desktop connection, but then the embedded systems return to a login
prompt. My goal is to allow a supervisor to monitor the status of up to 3
different machines remotely (on the XP pro system). I have the XP pro and the
3 XPe panels all with static IP addresses to keep things simple. Any ideas or
comments would be greatly appreciated.

A work around to the remote desktop issue might be to utilize VNC instead
(either RealVNC http://www.realvnc.com or TightVNC http://www.tightvnc.com/)

Joe,

There is Remote Assistance feature of XP(e) where you can share your Desktop with other user(s) over RDP. Although you can do pretty
much anything on the shared Desktop it is still not the Remote Administration.

There are also a bunch of 3rd party tools available on the market to do the real Remote Admin on XP. Some of them (RAdmin, VNC) are
easy to componentize for XPe and may require much less dependencies than, say, Terminal Services. Some useful links were mentioned
in this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.embedded/msg/3a6a55e95d2a562a?hl=en&.

Personally, I like and use LogMeIn (AMD Live! app): http://www.amd.com/amdlive/logmeinpro.

Thanks for the help Richard and KM! I'll check into the 3rd party apps.
