VNC uses a lot of CPU
power when you're in control of a desktop. Adjusting
properties such as the encoding and compression can help out
performance quite a bit but if you want a real performance
gain, you need to enable the UltraVNC video driver! This only
works for UltraVNC Servers.
You can use the remote
scripting feature in VNCScan to do this quite easily. Check
out this link for information
on creating and deploying scripts to remote computers.
Instructions to turn on the UltraVNC video driver are listed below.
How it's done
Right-click a computer and choose
to edit scripts
Choose to create a new script
In the script window, type in the
following script. Be sure to set an administrative
username and password before saving.
The script reads:
REM ** begin script **
c:
cd \
cd "Program Files\Orl\VNC\Driver"
setupdrv.exe installs
REM ** End script **
Save the script and get back to
the main window. To deploy this script to a remote Windows
computer, simply right-click the computer from the list and
deploy the script.
Note: You may need to initiate a
reboot on the remote computer for the video driver to take effect.
