Using TightVNC to shadow a thin client
About this task
TightVNC Server starts automatically as a service upon thin client startup. The TightVNC Server service can also be stopped
and started by using the Services window.
Steps
1. Log in as an administrator.
2. Go to Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services, and then select TightVNC Server.
3. You may also use the TightVNC Server features in Start > TightVNC.
To shadow a thin client from a remote machine:
a. On a remote machine on which TightVNC Viewer is installed, open the New Tight VNC Connection dialog box.
b. Enter the IP address or valid DNS name of the thin client that is to be shadowed or operated or monitored.
c. Click OK.
The VNC Authentication dialog box is displayed.
d. Enter the Password of the thin client that is to be shadowed; this is the Primary Password of the thin client that is to be
shadowed.
e. Click OK.
The thin client that is to be shadowed or operated or monitored is displayed for the administrator in a separate window on
the remote machine. Use the mouse and keyboard on the remote machine to operate the thin client just as you would if you
were operating it locally.
