WinVNC
Administrators Only - WinVNC Server is installed locally on the thin client. It allows a thin
client to be operated/monitored (shadowed) from a remote machine on which VNC Viewer
is installed. VNC is intended primarily for support and troubleshooting purposes.
VNC Server starts automatically as a service at thin client startup. The service can be
stopped/started by using the Services window (Start | Settings | Control Panel |
Administrative Tools | Services).
Note
Be sure to flush the Enhanced Write Filter during the current system session
if you want to permanently save the state of the service.
VNC Server Properties Settings
To open the WinVNC: Current User Properties dialog box, click Start | Programs |
WinVNC Current User Properties, or double-click the WinVNC icon in the system tray of
the administrator taskbar. The default password in this dialog box is Wyse.
Caution
The default password permits a remote administrator to configure or reset a
thin client from a remote location rather than making a personal appearance
at the thin client site. For security, it is highly recommended that the
password be changed immediately upon receipt of the thin client.
