Any Microsoft Server experts here?

This is my favorite new tool at work:

It has saved me hours already. It can populate a list of machines on the network and you can select all that you want to install VNC on and push it
out giving it the settings I designate in a preset profile. I could go on and on
but I'll let you look at it. :)

Dam.. that software looks nice. I like the fact that you can push it out to the desktop. It's $59 per admin. Or it's $995 for a full site license with 2 years of support. So if it's just the boss & I that manage the network, I assume we would just need 2 per-admin licenses for $118. Did you guys do a per-admin license or buy the full site license???

Thanks!!!

License Types:

Per-Admin: Each administrator at each site must have a license if you choose this mode. One year of free maintenance upgrades is included.

Site License: Every administrator at your site is covered in this licensing mode and you are entitled to two years of free upgrades with premium support

We just bought 3 per-admin licenses. There's only 3 of us that would really use it at work.

Screw both of these options, you HAVE to try out this app. As long as the domain controller (or other machine on a local subnet, for that matter) has network access to the machine you want to support, you HAVE to try out Dameware Mini Remote Control. Full domain authenticated desktop access in seconds, no stupid scrolly windows if there are screen resolution discrepancies or weird line-scan-refresh issues with VNC, and you can connect to non-domain computers if you have the credentials.

And uh, it's $89. Would be better if it was free, but damn it works good for the money.

I'm going to look into both options. The VNC option looks to be $59 per admin with unlimited end nodes which is very cost effective. The Dameware option says $89 a single user license. A 50 user license is $3,149. I'm confused. Do you need a single license for every node you have? If so, that would be alot of $$. $6300 in our case.
