Hi Matt,
I'm afraid when there aren't any displays attached, LMI doesn't have a screen image to capture and transmit -- thus the black screen when connected remotely. This works the same in most environments, except where a HD is capable of still creating the desktop images without a monitor.
Thanks for your reply.
What do you mean by HD in your last statement?
Also, I find it curious that four other workstations on our account are connected to a single display via a VGA based KVM switch - only one is visible on the local display at a time. However, I can access any of them without the KVM switch being switched to a specific computer. Is this a product of being connected to a display, even if the display is not active? Or is it merely by virtue of the fact that a display cable is connected? Or is it that a display device is connected, even if it is not active? Will just plugging in a DisplayPort or HDMI cable make my PC accessible headlessly?
Sometimes it is as simple as plugging in the cable, but it depends on the OS behavior itself. The display does not have to be powered on for the hard drive to create the desktop image.
