But I wan't to have a system in which i want to make a remote desktop access to the GUI of the OS (Ubuntu Server) in which Zentyal is installed (like we do in Windows using VNC and team viewer)......

I second the motion for X2Go.  Yes you can use Windows to access the desktop.  Very handy!

Hello,

I'm using X11 forwarding capabilities in order to work on the server (if I ever need to be "local").

It is quite simple to do...

From an Ubuntu desktop:
Replace
<admin> with your username
<your Zentyal IP> with your server IP or domain name

Code: [Select]
ssh -X -C <admin>@<your zentyal IP>
* The -X is the X11 Forwarding and the -C is for compression *

After that you only have to fire up Firefox or any other software and done - your now working "local" without even getting close to your server!

Hope it will help...

Best,

Marcus

Am I misunderstanding this?

srijit92, you don't want to use TeamViewer?
