VNC rocks. I use it whenever I have to do work on a WinDoze box. The idea of walking across the building -- or driving across town -- to diddle some damn GUI interface is insane. Install it on the Doze box as a service, otherwise it won't be there when you reboot it. And make sure you can reboot it via VNC and that it actually shuts down, then actually comes back up, before you walk away from it. I found this out the hard way on one Doze "server" installed in a lights-out data-center; had to visit it in person to fix the problem, but never again. I haven't yet researched the security risks of the protocol and haven't tried yet to run VNC over an SSH tunnel, so look into this if it's a concern.
