To standardize my PCs, I'm running a batch file on every one of them. Can you give me advice, and maybe a hand with VNC?

Currently at 25 branches around north america we have user created hostnames, mix of different admin passwords, no domain support, no remote control ability, and the users are simply the local admins. I have network access still, but that's useless without any of the above being configured.

So I am going to have a Teamlead on each site run a batch file for me on each PC. This is what it will do:

  • Rename the PC to the BIOS serial

  • Enable RDP

  • Change the local admin password

  • Install UltraVNC Server

  • Places a simple batch file on c:\ that I can ask the users to run, displaying their IP, hostname, OS type.

  • Self destruct all temp files created/used (with passwords in them)

  • While I have this chance to run a batch on every PC, anything else?

On vPCs, I've tested the batch on 2000, XP and 7. My only issue is with UltraVNC.

The batch command is:

vnc32.exe /verysilent /loadinf="c:\vnc.inf" 

The .inf looks like this:

[Setup] Lang=en Dir=C:\Program Files\UltraVNC Group=UltraVNC NoIcons=0 SetupType=server_silent Components=ultravnc_server_s Tasks=installservice 

Now, I need the VNC server settings to be configured as well. Mainly set the password, turn on/off a couple features. Any idea how I can do that with out manual intervention?

thanks for all the help!
