The table below presents the differences between the Remote Desktop
Connection application and a VNC viewer.
Characteristic
Remote Desktop
Connection
VNC Viewer
Type of connection Direct between the unit and the
computer; only one user can be
connected to the unit at a time.
Usually, the connection is made
with the user name of the
person currently logged on the
unit. Otherwise, this person will
be automatically disconnected.
Not exclusive; several users
can be connected to the unit at
the same time (sharing the
same session).
Windows user rights Taken into account. Not taken into account.
Password-protected Yes; mandatory. The user name
and password are the same as
those used to connect to the
unit.
By default, all the accounts with
administrator rights can use
Remote Desktop Connection. If
you want accounts with limited
rights to be able to use Remote
Desktop as well, you must
specifically grant them access.
Yes; mandatory. You must
define a password on the
UltraVNC Server the first time
you start the server. By default,
all people that use the
UltraVNC Viewer (or another
VNC viewer) will enter the
same password (as defined on
the server).
Each user to whom you
provide the password will be
able to connect to the unit via
VNC.
