Different behaviour possible?

Hi fellas!

I'd like to know whether it is possible to achieve the following running vncserver as service and

a) prompt the user for take-over if a user is logged on

b) if nobody is logged on just take over?

Add or modify these registry entries for the user default settings on the server to be viewed:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\Default

QuerySetting [DWORD] 3 <- tells server to ask user
QueryTimeout [DWORD] 10 <- timeout in seconds
QueryAccept [DWORD] 1 <- auto-accept if timeout is reached

Hi/2 Jeremy,

the result would be that if the user won't respond VNC would establish the connection after the timeout, right?

I could live w/it.

Correct, the settings I gave you will do what you asked.

The registry settings are documented here: http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/regserver.htm (although the newer QueryAccept is missing)

QueryAccept=1 means if the user doesn't respond in the timeout period, then the connection is automatically accepted.

QueryAccept=0 means the connection will be rejected on timeout and is the default.
