Admin/config Windows remotely

Hi folks,

Debian5.0
Windows server 2007
Windows Vista
WAN - public IP or Internet

I'm looking for a reliable solution to remote-admin
Windows server and workstation on Linux workstation. I have been running ssh for sometimes to remote-admin Linux/Unix servers on Linux workstation.

Google brought me following links;

OpenSSH for Windows

http://erdelynet.com/2004/08/30/cygw...gwin-ssh-docs/

The project OpenSSH for Windows seems coming to a stop.

Are there any other suggestions? TIA

have you considered vnc? I havn't tried it but it would be my starting point

It depends on the version of Windows. If it's Server 2003 or lower, you can use rdesktop. For 2008, VNC would be fine.

Hi folks,


Windows Vista
Debien 5.0 - Admin

Thanks for your advice. RDP and TSClient on Debien serve my test.

Hi folks,

This is a workstation running Windows Vista. With RDP on Vista and TSClient on Debian 5.0 (host of a virtualization box) I can connect Vista and display it on Debian screen. However I couldn't solve following problem.

On Vista
Start -> Computer (right-click) -> Properties
Click "Remote Settings" item

On System Properties window

Code:

---

[check] Allow Remote Assistance connection to this computer
[check] Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop (less secure)

---

Then it works for connection without problem.

But

Code:

---

[check] Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication (more secure)

---

Can't work.

I have been tweaking around for couple days and can't find a solution. Any advice? TIA
