My team use it when we need to assist customers with issues, we ask them to run the software and tell us the session ID, then we connect in and take control of their computer.
This combined with Dropbox can be a godsend.Looking for a 3" Magnum 870 $200-$250ishComment

You can also set it to be a constant ID number...NRA Member

We use their GoToMeeting and GoToWebinar when we do presentations to customers, GoToMeeting also allow us to request to take control of keyboard mouse of the presenting machine and I think this is similar to their GoToMyPC product.
When we do this, we've discovered that it doesn't work as well as TeamViewer. It has trouble dealing with when Windows prompt you to confirm Administrator access (Windows UAC). Once that prompt gets triggered, you'll lose the keyboard/mouse control.
It might work better in GoToMyPC compared to GoToMyMeeting, I'm not 100% sure. However, TeamViewer is free for private use and works well, you might as well go with it.Comment

I've been RDP'ing to my rigs at home for YEARS via my Androids, Linux rigs, and work rig.
Probably time to switch to something more secure... Luckily I have never logged in and taken over a session of someone else RDPing in, probably because I used to change my public IP like 2x/month.
Maybe I'll play with some OpenVPN stuff.
(At least I use ssh into my Slackware Linux box, and ssl for hitting my router... :| )Last edited by the86d; 03-13-2013, 3:14 PM.Comment

Talk to your IT department and have them set it up for you. Since you don't have an IT department clear it with your boss. Failing to do so can cost you your job. A quick and easy solution would be to use a service like LogMeIn.com.Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace. -- James Madison

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one.

Logmein is JUST AS SECURE!
What is better than 256 bit SSL encryption??? Are you saying your bank is less secure than VNC?? Banks use 256 bit SSL!!!
... and there is a Droid app and iPad/iPhone app for it too! ---But controlling a PC with a smartphone, while very geeky cool... is a PITA!!!
OP -- The problem with a question such as this is every geek has his or her opinion! Take a poll and you should see Logmein rise to the top! I have tried RDP, VNC, GoToMyPC, and I have stuck with Logmein for the last 7+ years!"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.

We use a combination of VPN and Dameware. Sometimes RDP is allowed but we've tried to limit this as much as possible.
