I want to start using UltraVNC in our office domain, for tech support and
helpdesk purposes at the workstation level. A few of our users have gotten
the idea that we are going to use it to spy on them, and look at their
email. It's become a bit of a PR problem for the IT Admin staff.
So I am wondering, is it legal to use software like this at MSU, under the
AUP? If so, who here is using it? Have you run into issues with users like
this, where they interpret something you are doing as an attack on their
privacy? If so, how did you handle it? We have sent out an email describing
the software, what it does, and the fact that we won't use it without their
permission. It doesn't seem to have helped much.
Any ideas?
