Configure VNC Usermode and Server Mode

While the VNC Server in Service Mode icon does not appear in the Desktop Tray in an RDP session, it will most likely be running in the background. Could you do the following:

1. Start VNC Server in Service Mode. 2. Open VNC Server in User Mode, make note of the IP Address (you will need

  this to connect to the VNC Server in Service Mode)

3. Close VNC Server in User Mode, then exit out of the RDP session. 5. Enter the IP Address that was shown on the VNC Server in User Mode into

  the VNC Viewer application (please note, the Public IP of your User Mode Server)
  in order to connect to the Service Mode Server, you will need to connect to Public IP
  You should now be prompted for a password and username upon connecting via
  VNC Viewer, by default these details are those of the Windows System User
  who launched VNC Server. When you connect you will be prompted with the
  local login screen.

From here you should be able to login and see VNC Server in Service Mode in the Desktop Tray, and be able to configure it in the same way you were able to configure VNC Sever in User Mode.
