VNC?

[WeekendMedic]

Is it possible to trigger a VNC session from a row in BatchPatch? I see RDP, but that’s not always the best option for my environment, as it’s single-user, and I’m often working on a PC without disturbing a user or their session. If not, can this be a future feature? Thanks!

If you want to trigger VNC viewer from a BatchPatch row you would need to create a local command with the VNC viewer command line command for your viewer. For example RealVNC the command is: vncviewer.exe <computer>. In a BatchPatch local command you can use $computer for BatchPatch to insert the host name for the row into the command line. So your local command would be:

vncviewer.exe $computer

or if you need to specify the full path to the viewer then do:

C:pathToViewervncviewer.exe $computer

Perfect, I can do that – thanks Doug!
