Admin over Internet

Hi
I wonder if there is a way to connect to another computer over the internet, and have administrator priveliges on the client? I would like to do this as I have been asked if I can provide computer support over distance. Both systems run Windows 2000 Professional. I've heard of GoToMyPC (gotomypc.com), but in order to gain greater access I would need the corporate account, which involves excessive cost considering my task. I have also heard of a system called Ghost(?) which would enable an admin to monitor the client system, but I'm not sure what this is.
Anyone with any good ideas?

Thanks a lot.

LapLink and/or PCAnywhere would probably work because you you setup user names and passwords with these that log onto the machine you are connecting to.

Could you possibly get them to setup a Virtual Private Network for you?

You can try Remote Anything from www.trw-industries.com. Its free for a thirty day trial and works really well for me over the net. Very easy to configure.
Hi mwcns I see you just signed on to EE today and I would like to say Welcome. Since you are new it is likely you are unaware of a basic courtesy that most of us Experts try and follow. Most of us opt not to use the Propose an answer option and just submitt comments. Mainly becauses some problems with what is called locking the Q and it moves the Q to a different section.

The questioner has the ability the choose which ever comment suits thier needs as the answer and the Expert that made the comment will be the one that is credited with the points. The Proposed Answer feature was something that had its merits and usefullness at one time but it has outlived this usefullness for the most part so most of us don't use it anymore. The site at this time does not have the finances available to rewrite the code to elimante this feature so that is why you still see it. :>)

By the way your link doesn't work you might consider reposting your link with one that does so 936113311 can take a look at it.

Again welcome to EE
