Can I start Remote Desktop Remotely useing net start
I am the admin for a group of servers I normally use Tightvnc over the vpn to loginto the server as I have run into problems with remote desktop in the past with installing some apps. What has happened is this tightvnc has crashed and now I cant access this server it has done this in the past and I have to get some one to go and restart the app for as it is on the other side of the country. Is there anyway to start remote desktop useing net start if so what are the commends I do have full admion access to this server via my VPN.
Hello there,
If you want a reliable Remote connection I suggest using https://www.gotomypc.com/ or Logmein.com.
Both of these remote tools are excellent but Logmein.com has a free version.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
If you can connect to the server and have admin rights, then try and use gencontrol.
It is a freeware, it does not need any server portion to be installed. You can control your server just like you did using tightvnc.
Just make sure that gencontrol uses internal authentication, so if you are using a machine which is not add to your domain in which your server reside you can't connect to it.
It your server is not a DC then you can change your remote machine's administrator password to match with the servers local administrator password.

you can do it if tightvnc creates a service.
To do so, you need to dial into a vpn to be a part of LAN
after that you open computer management, and then choose "action" , "connect to remote computer" and then choose services and restart/start tightvnc server over there.
BTW, I am currently using Remote Administrator and I can do as I mentioned, hope that you would be able to do the same the onlly thing needed is the service entry in services mmc console/computer management
Cheers!
