We have about 7 computers in our office with Windows 7, Windows XP installed. I am the only with a Mac. There are times when I have to go on each of the machine to troubleshoot, install or diagnose problems. To make my job easier would it be possible for me to install a vnc server to each machine so that I can use Apple Remote Desktop to monitor them all? I'm just looking for the best possible way to set this up. RealVNC or any other VNC program you guys can recommend.

I'm not sure if this will work, does each vnc install have to have a different port? I'm not a big networking guru so any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
For providing remote support to Windows users, I use TeamViewer, which works with Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Ubuntu, iPhone, iPad, etc. It's very secure and quite simple to set up and use.... and it's free.
