We use TightVNC here, it's working on Win XP, Vista, 2003 Server, 2000 
Server, and 7 (probably on other version too, but we've successfully 
used it on all these versions).
We always connect to this VNC server using various Linux client (Fedora, 
Arch, Ubuntu etc...). My favourite VNC client for Linux is remmina, but 
vinagre and tigervnc also works great. We don't use reverse connections 
thought (the IT crew always initiate the connection throught an SSH 
tunnel when we're not in the client's network, remmina create the tunnel 
for you, which is why I like it)

Here's our package definition for TightVNC: 
https://wikit.firewall-services.com/doku.php?id=tuto:gestion_de_parc:wpkg:tightvnc

You just have to manuelly install it on one desktop, configure it like 
you want (especially the passwords), then, save the settings in a file 
named tightvnc.reg (in the same directory than the installer).


Regards, Daniel
