Introduction
In this article I will show you how to publish a server that has ULTRA VNC installed on it so that you can remotely control this server from External Networks using ULTRA VNC. You can download ULTRA VNC which is a free software than can be downloaded from here
You can remotely control machines behind ISA server with VNC using either of these two methods:
1 – With VNC Viewer , using inbound TCP port 5900
2 – With any web browser, using inbound TCP port 5800
Configuration on ISA Server
We will start with creating a publishing rule for the VNC Viewer

Now its time to connect using the VNC Viewer and will also try using Internet Explorer 7 .
28. Install the VNC Viewer on any client machine and open it. Enter the Your domain name or Public IP, and click on ConnectYou will get an authentication box to enter the password you have configured on the VNC Server. Once your enter this password, you will start having remote control of the server.
29. The second method is by using any web browser, I will be using IE7, all you need to do is enter the following URL: http://DomainName:5800 OR http://PublicIP:5800
You will also have a textbox to enter the password you configured on the VNC Server.
One last note, set ULTRA VNC Server that you are publishing as SecureNet Client, this is done by setting its Default Gateway to be ISA Server Internal IP
Summary
In this article, we learned how to publish a server behind ISA server to remotely control it using ULTRA VNC.
You can use VNC in two methods, either using the VNC Viewer or by using any web browser.
