I'd recommend that you start with VNC, actually, particularly because it can be run as a pure java applet in a remote browser, allowing for full control from any computer worldwide with a java-enabled web browser, independent of OS flavour (*NIX, NT, Mac, etc.) If you're concerned about security, I'd recommend setting up an SSH server at your office and pipe all VNC connections through SSH. It's relatively easy to do, and everything including the authentication and any keystrokes you type thereafter are completely encrypted. Plus, SSH uses compression as well, so your VNC connection is actually faster with it.

I'd hope to force everyone to standardize on a single remote admin application, however. Right now, my choices are pcAnywhere, VNC, or Windows2000 WTS. I know that VNC has had tons of problems, vulnerabilities, etc., so I'm pretty much going to try to that one out first. Next, is pcAnywhere - I know it can support menial encryption methods, and can do dual user auth, which is good, but is it better than..... The third choice is W2k WTS - It's free, fast, and comes with W2K Server, but I know NOTHING about it's security. All I know is it runs on TCP 3389, but I don't have any clue if it has secure communications capabilities (encryption), etc. Any ideas or opinions? Thanks very much.
