Tight VNC server is installed on a win2k client and is running. But the machine is locked. Now in this situation (locked machine), how to access this machine from any other remote machine using tight VNC viewer?

I do know with some variations of VNC comes certain quirks, I used to use Tight VNC, now I use RealVNC (I find it's just better).

That all said, the key here is macking sure it's running as a service. If its not running as a service then all bets are off as far as connecting to a station via VNC after a reboot (or at a login prompt, etc.).

However when installed as a service, just send Ctrl, Alt + Del to unlock it. (Look at the top of VNC window there should be an icon for sending Ctrl, Alt + Del, I know on RealVNC there is).

Note: Installing as a service will require a reboot before it works properly because it needs to register.
