Gael,

Gael,

Thanks for your reply.

This desktop has now been deployed with Windows 7 32-bit restored from the old system's image. I installed the AMT that came with the computer (screen shot). I can connect across a VPN using FQDN, using either the web interface or PSM.

I'm not clear where AMT gets its clock or what the time should be. Checking the web interface of a few systems:

• An AMT 3.2.20 system shows the correct local time.
• An AMT 5.2.40 system is ahead by one hour (daylight savings)?
• The new AMT 9.0.2 system is ahead by 8 hours (meaning it is showing Greenwich Mean Time).

My understanding was that the splash screen only appears with RealVNC Standard, and you can avoid it by buying RealVNC Plus. But I'm not using RealVNC at all. I'm trying to use UltraVNC.

In fact the splash screen info may be out of date. The screen shot in your PSM blog shows a "KVM Remote Control" link. I can imagine that that used to launch the free version of RealVNC, with the splash screen. Now, they no longer give you that option:  the link is called "VNC Plus KVM Viewer", and the only option is to install a trial of VNCPlus (screen shot).

Meanwhile the AMT event log of the new machine has started showing messages like "Authentication failed 800 times. The system may be under attack." Since none of the AMT ports are open to the Internet, an attack seems unlikely. I guess that's a separate issue.
