Running Windows app/daemon/service in stealth mode
-
We have a large network of Windows machines, each of which has VNC server to allow remote access by our admin. Problem is, VCN apparently shows itself in the task tray and is closable - which some users have been doing. Our Admin was most comofrtable with VNC (didn't want to use RDP or other) so that is our only option. Is there a way we can run VNC in stealth mode? Even just hiding it form the task tray and processes list when CTLR+ALT+DEL so most users cannot easily disable it? I'm thinking there has to be a small app or osmething that prevents the display of VNC in the task tray, short of changing the source code and recompiling VNC (not practical at all). Cheers, ALex

I'm not sure how that would be done...can you point me to more details or possibly show me some examples? :D

in the start menu you have mmultiple ways of starting the server also the optons thingy allow you to add vnc as a service

You can get the source code and modify it to hide it's icon from the system tray and task bar, but it will still show up in task manager.

I found an eHow article on how to run the application in stealth mode so hopefully that helps :) Cheers, Alex

alex, like lauren said run it as a service. taht's how we use it at work. However make sure that when you install it, you install the service parts. If memory serves, I think there's an option to NOT install the parts of the software to run it as a service, so if you do that, obviously you'll have problems later on down the line.
