Detecting remote desktop connection

Question

Is there anyway, in a program, to detect if a program is being run from inside a remote desktop session or if the program is being run normal in .NET 2.0? What I\'m trying t

Answer 1

All remote login programs require a service or program running on the local machine. The questioner only needs to worry about VNC and its clones if those services or programs are allowed to run on his local machine. They are not necessary for Remote Desktop use, and there are Remote Desktop clients for all operating systems. A VNC server is unnecessary if Remote Desktop is working.

Furthermore, the VNC clones can't log in for you unless you install them as an administrator on the server machine. As long as you don't let users run processes as other users, the only concern is if one of your other employees is logging in as the problematic one. And if that's the case, no technical solution is going to be sufficient. Even if you have individual cards for each employee that must be used to log in, the problematic employee could just give his friend the card.
