I manage a lot of Lion computers, and was wondering if this is possible: Is there a way to initiate a virtual display session via VNC when nobody is logged into a Lion computer? I'd really prefer if I could do this rather than take over the computer. I'd like it to just sit at the login screen while I do everything in the background.
Connect and then select View > Switch to Virtual Display from the Screen Sharing menu bar.

I have no idea how I never saw that. Thanks!
I just tried selecting "virtual display" but the machine still mirrors what I do in VNC despite it saying it's on the virtual display. Any ideas?
I guess it only works when a user is logged in.
I saw the "Switch to Virtual Display" option only after upgrading from SL to Lion.
