UltraVNC

To see a good example of how it is calculated look here in the source.

I'll make a simple little console application that can change the VNC password. I'll post it here once I am done. It will probably take a few days as I ...

Sorry guys, I am having an off day. I didn't give this much thought when I put this out there.
Don't you want to make the new password a second input argument? That would be significantly more complex if you wanted to define the password as plain text. The password value stored in either the ...

Hi,

I would like to know if there is any CLI to start, stop and change the password of VNC Server. I want to Start, Stop and Change the Password of VNC Server programatically. Appreciate any help in this regard.

Thanks,
Swapna.
Try this batch script. Copy and paste the contents to 'chgvncpwd.cmd ...

You're very welcome.

As for the registry key I believe that is correct but I haven't investigated it. In my environment we just made a group policy that controls that setting.

...Any chance you could look into the repeater problem ( [topic=18016][/topic] and elsewhere ) or possibly patch your changes into 1.0.8.0, which doesn't have the repeater issue? I don't want to get in the habit of recompiling this fix for everyone who wants a particular version. BUT, since you ...

Done. Thanks for the recommendation supercoe!

My guess is that they will put this in the 1.0.9.x branch or the 2.x branch.

Yes I have changed the GPO policy
and the way I replaced the .exe file is by booting in safe mode because when I try to stop the server the "stop service" option is grayed out. And when I try to do so under task manager it tells me that access is denied.

There is something new that I have noticed ...

Thanks any way for your job.

I just included it. See the first post.
It works on 32 and 64 bit versions of windows.

The source produces the binaries and they are fully functional.

Updated first post.

Thanks, I intend to stick around.

I think this patch should be implemented with a UAC check:

• If UAC is on, call CAD.exe with ShellExecute.
  If UAC is off, call CAD.exe as a service.

I'll go ahead and get that done and then submit the changes.

I was able to get 1.0.8.2 (Rev. 495) to build correctly by making the following change. Index: UltraVNC Project Root/UltraVNC/winvnc/winvnc/winvnc.vcproj

This will check to see if UAC is on. If UAC is on it will use the normal method of invoking the Secure Attention Sequence(Ctrl+Alt+Delete). If UAC is disabled it will create a CAD service that can send the SAS and then start that service.

I don't actually get any build errors. That's the weirdest part.

My resulting 1.0.8.2 winvnc.exe executable is 1,582,592 bytes from unmodified source. The uvnc.com distributed binary is 1,590,216 bytes. Add to that the about screen, the configuration windows, msloogon auth, and a host of other ...

Furthermore, the 1.0.8.0 source compiles fine and everything works. It's only the 1.0.8.2 source I have a problem with.

I think I have a fix to the cad problem but need to recompile the source to test.

I am currently trying to build UltraVNC (winvnc.exe) from source. I have scoured these forums and have yet to find a fix to my problem. I can currently build the 1.0.8.2 source into an executable without error ...
