Configure VNC Organic Design procedure |
We use the UltraVNC single-click (SC) to enable users to initiate remote support because it is extremely time-consuming and much less secure to create router pinholes and static routes to all the machines on a client LAN. The SC edition of VNC allows a custom made end-uder application to be placed onto any machine requiring remote access. The custom application contains all the specific settings required to establish a connection back to the tech-support computer without needing any configuration, thus the name "single click".
This article contains the technical procedures required to maintain and configure the technical-support end which entails DNS, routes and "reverse connected viewer" (i.e. the viewer is configured to listen for connections from the client-side custom apps). Basic information such as customer notes and instructions are in the vnc article.

VNC viewer on Ubuntu (currently Hardy Heron only)
First install the xtightvnxviewer since the default desktop viewer doesn't support reverse connections:
To run the viewer in reverse mode,
Windows clients
To be able to establish a connection client computers must download File:Od-vnc.zip (THIS SHOULD BE THE EXE) and save onto the desktop so it can be found easily.
Contact tech support and arrange a convenient time for the connection to be done. At the agreed time, the client simply double-clicks the downloaded application and then double-click "Internet Support" (not the encrypted one yet).
