Making Remotely Connected ubuntu server as GUI enabled

http://askubuntu.com – I am trying to connect to a remote server in cloud hosting service using remote desktop client application. Actually, the remote server is a server edition. I need it as GUI enabled like an Ubuntu desktop edition so that it will be user friendly. So I have installed Ubuntu-desktop using sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. I'm able to connect to the server via putty SSH client. In putty we can run in command line mode only. I want to run the server in GUI mode. I can't access the server as GUI enabled in remote desktop client. Mine is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. The remote server is also Ubuntu 12.04 L (HowTos)

What shall I do now???

I wish to connect my machine to a server in some other city.

I used to have Ubuntu Server 12.10, and I used to connect to it with my Windows PC using SSH. All I had to do was turn my server computer on and next thing I could do was run my PuTTY and connect to it.

I have researched this for a few days now and am about to throw in the towel. Maybe you can help. Thank you in advance.

I have installed Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 (32 bit) and Samba and have a simple file server running that I would like to be able to control remotely from a Windows machine. But I want to be able to control it by a graphical interface - not by terminal.

today i have installed ubuntu server 9.04 in my company server.

after installation i found out that it is command line.. so i have installed desktop

using this command. sudo apt-get install ubunt-desktop

it was successfully installed even after installation i was in the same GUI so i started GUI sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

I've been reading a lot, but got to no conclusion yet.

In the client PC, I installed remmina.

On the notebook I want to access remotely what server should I install? This remote notebook is running ubuntu 10.04 still, and I want to view the same desktop as the local user is viewing, in order to solve problems she's facing. The connection must be secure, using ssh tunnel or other method.

I have a server (Win 2008) and a desktop PC (Win 7) at my work behind a firewall.
