I noted a post at Raymond's blog that it says that there are 2 versions of Fastpush one lite and the other one full. the Lite one can be downloaded here but the Full one is nowhere to find. So the questions is, does it exist? If not, where I can find instructions of how to use FastPush with UltraVNC?

As you say the lite version is available, however I had to remove the much larger full version because of bandwidth issues. You can use Fastpush with UltraVNC by making a subfolder in the Fastpush folder called Ultra. Dump all of the EXEs and DLLs that Ultra uses in there and then push it out using the /ultra switch.

Hi everyone,

Where can I obtain "howto for making your own setup.exe file. You can use this in a logon script to install VNC to your target 9x workstations."?

Looks like I'd deleted that file as it got such low traffic. Still, if you find it useful, I'll put it back here.

I noticed you say you haven't worked with MACs. Well, since OS X, the kernel is similar to the Linux kernel.
VNC-wise, the two apps I like for OS X:

Chicken of the VNC - free/open VNC client
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/

OSXvnc - free/open VNC server
http://sourceforge.net/projects/osxvnc/

Thanks for the links!

I'm am using fastpush with ultravnc. I have incorporated the contents of VNCHooks_Settings.reg from an installation of ultravnc into machine.ini. I am successful except the file transfer does not work. If I then run VNCHooks_Settings.reg on the machine that I have loaded with fastpush the file transfer works. What am I missing?

If you copied the contents of the .REG file into the .INI then it won't work. The format is very different. You would be better off setting the values by imported the REG file into your test computer and then using REG to export those values to an INI file. You can then cut and paste that with the standard MACHINE.INI file. That should do it.

Hi, I've started looking at using your script. I was wondering though, to save 'victims' having something to play with, I was hoping that I could cut down the number of shortcuts that are installed. At present, there are 3 sub-folders under 'RealVNC' which are VNC Server - Service Mode, VNC Server - User Mode, VNC Viewer. I know there is the set command to not install any shortcuts, but ideally I would like to have just the VNC Server - Service Mode present, along with My Details.

All of the icons are created by the section entitled: CREATE A BATCH FILE TO CREATE SHORTCUTS ON REMOTE PC. The section you're interested in starts with the line:

if "%real4%"=="yes"

From there on there are some MD command (which make the folders up, natch). Just pop a REM statement at the front of each line that you don't want an icon creating. That should do you.

Lastly, and by no means least, Amit Keynan wrote in offering to share his HTA wrapper for Fastpush. Well, he's kindly supplied a copy and here it it. Use it at your own risk. As I didn't write this funky app, I'm not offering any support on it. :-)

Hello one and all,

Has it really been six months since I updated this site? Ooops. :-)

this is probably the single most useful piece of script I ever used
I compiled a little HTA gui for it, how can i send it to you so you can post it here

Well thanks! High praise indeed. I'll drop you an email about the HTA code.

I have noticed when I use fastpush to push ultravnc with ntlm to x64 machines in installs fine but then is unusable because it says no admin password has been set

I know x64 uses a different place to store ODBC connections if they are 64 or 32 bit links. I don't have Windows 2003 x64 to hand, but it may be worth setting up a working copy of UltraVNC with NTLM and searching the registry for that data. Perhaps Fastpush is putting the data in the wrong place?

I am trying to deploy VNC to multiple computers. I have created machines.cmd and put the list of computer as below. I put machines.cmd
and vnc.cmd in the same folder, open command prompt, go to the directory, type in machines.cmd and hit enter. However, only 1 computer is processed. Did I miss something here? How to make the script go through all computers?

vnc CAF0007WP014 TestDomain\Admin mypass /log
vnc CAF0007WP032 TestDomain\Admin mypass /log
vnc CAF0008WP026 TestDomain\Admin mypass /log
vnc CAF0008WP030 TestDomain\Admin mypass /log

Well the simple answer is that when you call another CMD script, you need to put the word CALL in front of each line. Otherwise, the script will just run it the once and quit.

So:

@echo off
Call VNC Machine1 TestDomain\Admin mypass /log
Call VNC Machine2 TestDomain\Admin mypass /log
Call VNC Machine3 TestDomain\Admin mypass /log

If you have time, go and have a look at www.ss64.com. That site is a wealth of scripting ideas and is very useful for beginners and up.

Can I use this vncenc.exe in some other program. Can we use this in a commercial program? Is it under GPL, or any other license.

To be honest with you, I didn't write the program. It was written by a gentleman called Mauro Castaldi and while he made the program freely available for VNC, I cannot say if you can include it in your commercial packages. I've not spoken to Mauro for a while and the last email address I have for him is k dot astaldi at hotmail dot com.

Hi folks,

After much fun and games (re: nashing of teeth) I've canned the download manager for the downloads. There are now just common-or-garden links to the zip files.

So while I won't be able to stop leeching or keep an eye on the number of downloads, you should now be able to get the files you need.

The downloads are - as you may have guessed - off-line. The download manager is dead, kaput, it has ceased to be.

I'll let you know more when I get my hand on the backup disk. Ahhh. Backups. Where for art thou? :-D
