Most network admins use VNC for client machines. It’s easy to access, but not so secure, but inside a network it’s a okay option to use. However the problem is how to install VNC on machine on the network without touching the machine itself. I know you can do installation through AD and through different pieces of software, but I was looking for a simple script to use. The reason was so my IT co-workers can install on demand when needed. So I used to pieces of a script that was already created, and created my own installation batch file. One of the script was fastpush from Dark Age, and the other was VNCencode by Mauro Castald. However I’ve packaged all of it for you to use, in one simple download below. Download the zip file below, then continue reading on how to edit and put your own vnc password.

Go to our download page to download PushVNC

Steps on how to setup Push VNC

1. Download the file above and extract the file somewhere.

2. Go to command line navigate to the directory called VNCpassword. Run vncenc with the password you want. Like the screenshot below where I used the password “itsmypassword”

3. Now copy all the “Password = REG_BINARY…….”, and paste it into the VNC4.ini file located in the common directory. Like the screenshot below.

4. Now there is two places where you need to edit the path of where you are planning to put this Push VNC program at. In this example I’m placing it in my c:\temp folder. First we’ll edit the install.bat file, and change the path where I highlighted in the screenshot below. Second we’ll edit the fp82.cmd file, same thing change the path where I highlighted in the screenshot also.

* If you want to place it on the network you need to edit it to use “net use v: \\server\share”.  Then set the path accordingly. Since I’m sharing this program with my IT co-workers I used the net use.

5. Now that’s bascially all you have to do. Now run the install.bat program and you’ll see a screen like below. Type in the ip address of the computer you want to install VNC onto, and then watch it’s magic. Remember you must be logged in as a domain admin or have such privileges to the client computer to install. Feel free to change my name and put yours.
