Is there a program compatible with Linux to do remote connections?
I work for a company that does remote connections. We are wanting to put Linux on everyone’s computer for several reasons but we can’t find a software to remotely connect to other computers that have windows. The software we currently use doesn’t support Linux.

I can only speak for Ubuntu, but Terminal Services Client works like a charm.
It doesn’t allow for shared control or anything, but if you strictly need to remote into another PC, it’s basically a Linux version of Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Connection (mstsc.exe)
Hope this helps

a remote connection can be done in several way.
so the answer depends on your requirements.
programs like vnc exist for linux too.
have you tried rdesktop?

Your best options are:
- use the included Windows Remote Desktop on the remote machine, and tsclient on the Linux workstations
- use a free VNC server on the remote machine, and a VNC viewer on the Linux workstations

Its easy
rdesktop is a remote desktop client
vncviewer (Tiger VNC) is a great VNC client
