Run UltraVNC simultaneously with the server

[ultravnc85]

Is there a way to use Remote Desktop simultaneously with the server and the same can't see my actions like typing, mouse moves, windows and etc?

Would be something working in background or invisible mode.

You can start winvnc.exe in a RDP session ( as application), then each RDP session has his own vnc server running on na nother port.

*No mirror driver ( this is for console access)
*Can not be running as service ( a service clone the console, no a rdp session)

Sorry for digging out this old topic but it deals exactly with what I am facing currently:

So, using a Terminal Server with mutliple users logged on requires launching winvnc.exe in each session instead of running it as a service to be able to connect to specific sessions on that machine - that's fine for me

But when I try to connect to a specific user's session I still do not know what port this instance of winvnc.exe is currently using... I could not find any command line parameters of winvnc which would enable me to set a fixed port for each session via logon script... calculating the port like this: "5900 + session ID" doesn't feel reliable and I think having users logging in and out frequently will most probably cause problems with such a calculation...

Any ideas or suggestions?

Not direct possible with vnc , but with multiple folders you can create different ports.
If you set a different port for each user, you can use a tabel port<->user to connect.
The only problem is that the port is set in the ultravnc.ini.
Each user need to have his own winvnc.exe with ultravnc.ini in his home folder. so that a desktop link
start his own vnc version.

A non vnc solution pchelpware had the option to select a RDP session (based on user name) or console.

Ah ok, that's fine, too... so copying the files when logging in, manipulating the .ini and starting the .exe is the way to go

Thanks a lot
