Does anyone know which Windows Vista Edition will support Remote Desktop?
I am currently looking at the Windows Vista Home Premium, but I have to
make sure that it has Remote Connection for Work.

Thanks....
 
I am only guessing here, but I would say the Vista Business and Ultimate

Do want the client or be able to remote desktop to your home PC from work? If you want just the client, Home Premium and Ultimate both have the client.

I suspect you are considering full remoting with the Vista box, so get
Ultimate. If you have reason to be looking at Home Premium then Business
will not be good for you because Business does not have the Media Center
stuff that Home Premium does. In other words, Business is a different
branch of Vista, not an upscale Home Premium.

Featurewise, the branches are:

Home>Home Premium>Ultimate
Business>Enterprise>Ultimate
 
I only want to connect to work from home. I believe you are right and all
I want is the Client....I was the Premium that I was looking to get, so
that works good...

Thanks...
 
Am I correct in assuming that at the present time you cannot get a remote
desktop connection from a machine running Windows XP Pro SP2 to a machine
running Vista RC1? If so I hope Microsoft has an update to Windows XP Pro
in the works.

Ok then I must be doing something wrong; I can get file sharing to work and
remote assistance but not remote destkop. When I try remote desktop it
tells me that no terminal server can be found in my workgroup. The Windows
Explorer has not problem seeing the Vista machine. Also when I boot Windows
XP Pro instead of the Vista Utimate, I have no problem using the remote
desktop. Any suggestions on what I doing wrong?

I had basically the same problem. The Windows Firewall settings were
correct, but I could not connect to my desktop with remote desktop when
running Vista RC1. When I dual booted into XP, I had no problem connecting.
I had installed the free PC illin Internet Security 14 suite in Vista and
did not realize it had a built in firewall. After I disabled it, I could
connect with no problem.
