I need some software suggestions and I'm anetworkmoran.
I need a way to monitor what's happening on a remote machine(s)
without locking that machine up like Remote Desktop does. Mostly
monitor, but occasionally work interactively with the machine.
Similar to how Log-me-in or Gotomeeting operate but not over the
web and don't require someone sitting at the remote machine to
start it. Suggestions?
Are the machines both on the same intranet?

Dameware works pretty well, and fulfills your requirements.

Cheers.

All 5 machines are on the company intranet. The idea is that I be
able to VPN in from home and set up a remote desktop to my work
machine and be able to monitor what's happening with the other 4.
Physically, those 4 machines sit behind me at work and if I need to
see or fix something I turn around, select the one I want on a KVM
switch, and do what I need. I'd like to emulate that virtually.
Right now I'm using remote desktops but thats not an ideal option
with the automation software I use.

I don't think DameWare's Mini Remote Control will be ideal for the
remoting in from home to machine 1 - however, once you've connected
to machine 1 over the VPN, it is pretty ideal for
monitoring/controlling the other machines on the intranet from
machine 1. And you don't have to install anything on the other
machines beforehand - DameWare establishes a connection, and
installs whats needed to give you the ability to monitor/control the
machine, and, if you want, will uninstall that bit when you end the
connection. And it doesn't interfere with whatever the other people
are doing on their machines - unless you actively take over, they
don't even need to know you're watching.

It has some nice features - like a button that will cause the machine
you're controlling to CTRL-ALT-DEL (if you're familiar with Remote
Desktop, you know how handy this button can be, because you're
missing the ability in Microsoft's version of RD).

Cheers.

Kyle, thanks. I gave this one to our IT guys and asked to give it an
evaluation. Started working with it today and it_is_nice. Does
exactly what I want to do (once I figured out all the settings for
resolution and clipboard). Now all I have to do is convince them it's
better than RealVNC. These guys will spend $2k for anything the code-
monkeys want but they're giving me shit over a $90 license.

And Timbucktu would definetely do the job. Remind me not to bother with
your shitty assed requests anymore.
