Installing VNC using with profiles.

[Andrew Cooke]

I am hoping someone has had a similar experience to me. We want to roll out WinVNC on all our Windows95 machines, which is 250 computers or so. 

I have read the recent discussion regarding an unattended install using Novell. This would work fine except we are using profiles and the registry key adds the service password to the .default user.

If there are way I can store settings such as the password in another part of the registry instead of the users profile registry segment.
For instance I noticed that there is a line under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL

Which is not changed. Can I set up WinVNC to look at this part of the registry for it password and also to enable it as a service.

If I cannot do this is it possible to change the WinVNC setup so that this can be done. At the moment the only way I can get our users to have WinVNC running is to load WinVNC and have them enable the WinVNC and allocate a password.

If there was some way I could add the line to that users registry segment then that would also be satisfactory. For instance

Add HKEY_USER\%USERNAME%\blah, blah
Let me know...
