Remote or Head Less recovery using VNC

It is possible to do the BMR of a remote or a head less machine using the VNC protocol. You can choose between TightVNC and TigerVNC server. Only TigerVNC supports SSL connections. You must enable VNC and setup the password on the ISO image using our winbmr-iso-configurator.exe tools. See the Configuring the WindowsBMR Rescue ISO section to learn how.

The VNC server is started at startup. You must know the IP address of your machine to connect to it. The port used by VNC is the default one, 5900. Notice that the IP address is displayed by the console just before the WindowsBMR program starts, but if you don’t have access to the console you’ll need to know the IP address or be able to find it in another way.
