They are behind a firewall, which has been modified as needed.  It was
installed from an administrator account.  However it only works when the
user that installed it is logged in.

Well first of you all, they need to install the file (and video driver)
under an account with admin rights. It should set up as a service that runs
at boot up (mine does).

Is this computer behind a firewall? You may need to open up some ports.
There is some good info here: http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/faq.htm
BTW, you are using the UltraVNC version of VNC, aren't you? If not, the
setup file and video drivers are available from that site as well.

Does the client's IP change frequently? My personal SBC account changes
every five minutes or so, so I had to use a little program called DeeEnEs
dynamic DNS updater to ping/update my ip. This program is available for free
as well at : http://www.palacio-cristal.com/products/DeeEnEs .

I also had to set up a DNS address at http://www.dyndns.org/ so I can type
my url from work and it resolves my IP and connects me back to my home
computer.

Oh, and make sure they log off the computer when finished and don't actually
shut it off :)

Folks,

I need to get remote desktop (preferably) or VNC installed at a client as a
service loaded at boot time.  So far the folks setting it up only have ity
loading at logon.  Thus if no one is loaded, or the wrong user is logged on,
there is no remote access.  Can someone give me the blow-by-blow to get it
set up as a service loaded at boot and always running, even if no one is
logged in?

Thanks,
