Remote Desktop to Vista Home Premium PCs

Is there a way of connecting via Remote Desktop to a Vista Home Premium system, or do I need to use VNC instead?

Edit: I'm having a bad day with TLA's. Sorry

Solution 1:

From "Remote Desktop Connection: frequently asked questions":

You cannot use Remote Desktop Connection to connect to remote (host) computers running the following editions of Windows Vista:

However, any edition of Windows Vista can be running on your computer (the one you want to connect from).

So, you'll have to run an alternative software like TightVNC.

For Windows Vista Home Premium that basicly doesn't support RPD, you can use Microsoft Live Mesh that'll allow you to remote desktop your computer.

Hope this help.

Yes, but it's a hack and probably illegal. Which is why I won't explain the process here, and link to it instead (I hope that is okay here).
