Andrea, Buona sera! So long as you have enable VNC support in the RDP setup on the server. Basically you need to set the VNC password and check the appropriate box. You should be able to access it from there. Also ensure that you have all of the standard ARD ports open on the firewall or you will not be able to connect. Once you do then any VNC client should be able to connect. ARD requires: 5900 tcp + udp 3283 tcp + udp 5988 tcp For VNC you should probably add 5800 tcp + udp as well. Ciao.
