Teamviewer is also my favorite. There is a free version and a paid version for businesses with a lot of features. You can set up an account for automatic remote sessions or a password for each computer among other security settings. I use Teamviewer all the time to connect to a domain computer then login with the Vsphere client or RDP’s.

I VPN into the network and then use remote desktop for the local machines.

VNC is unencrypted unless you use UltraVNC with encryption enabled, and then you have to have a port forwarded on your company router. LogMeIn Free works by connecting the client outbound to LMI’s servers, and you can use the LMIFree license forever (for now) for business purposes.<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2013-02-05T16:40:59.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/remote-access-from-home/192018/8","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"angussf","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/angussf"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"\n\n

No limit, but managing more than a few (10-20) computers in a LMI Free account is painful. LogMeIn Central is the way to go, but it’s a few hundred dollars a year. With LMI Central you can organize your computers much more easily.<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2013-02-05T16:42:26.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/remote-access-from-home/192018/9","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"angussf","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/angussf"}}]}}
This has got me pondering, at my work the only remote access software we have is VNC. Fantastic software if I do say so myself. My curiosity was peaked when we had a power line knock us out and I was receiving phone calls from the people who monitor us when the office is closed. Got me wondering, is it possible to remotely log in via a work domain? Is that possible to join remotely and then use VNC viewer?
Or is there a free option to do remote access?
I was using LogMeIN free but it was apparently under a trial period.

Use Logmein Free. Opt out of the trial for PRO and you should be good to go.
