I was just wondering if there was a way to shutdown different computers that were on your network through writing a custom vb application.If so, what do I need to look into, such as certain objects and such.
Is there any way to turn off a remote pc that's not by using shutdown /s /m \computer name etc...I just want to turn off the server computer at night from my laptop. Is it possible to make the program check for pings and then shutdown? Or is there an easier way? (Maybe if I'm not on the local network send over a "signal"(?) to the pc so that it'll shut down..?)
I work for a school system and I have teachers that run computer labs. I am trying to get an application that will allow them to do the following remotely:ShutdownRebootLockLog OffLog InI am not a good coder and I know what I have is not efficient and probably not what I need. I have found the following code that will Shutdown, Reboot, and Lock a remote
1- Click run, and type the gpedit.msc, to start "Local Group Policy Editor". 2 -Expand "Computer Configuration" -> "Windows Settings" -> "Security Settings" -> "Local Policies" -> Then click "User Rights Assignment". 3- In the Policy window, Select "Force shutdown from a remote system", double click it, it will pop a properties window. 4- Click "Add user or group button", add a user and name it Guest.
I need to know if it's possible to manipulate and add the user or group programmatically. I'm using Visual Basic 2008.
I wrote a program in Visual Basic 2008 on my laptop that runs windows vista 64 bit, well the program attempts to access an Sql server that I am running on my laptop and it continues to give me the following error:
with vb.net OLEDB (not DSN- ODBC) + access03 + winxp please specify the connection string to connect to a .mdb file on a remote machine with OS winxp .i am confused what is the data source to be used in my connection string
In VBScript, to create a new process on a remote machine, you could use this

I would like to do the same thing in .net using WMI, and I tried to do this on my own, but my code is not working properly. If I specify my logon credentials, the process will execute on the remote machine and the code works fine, but I want the program to send the WMI query by using impersonation. I believed this was supposed to send the user credentials of the user using the program to the remote WMI provider on the remote machine. Here is the code I am using:
I have an issue with am access database source located on a remote computer.I tried using ADODB to access it, it works, but when I change( update insert or delete) the database on the remote computer, the changes is not reflected in my application
i write a program using vb 2005. This program collects data from Flight Simulator 2004 (altitude, speed, etc). These data should be uploaded periodically (every 10 secs) to a database which is installed to my website. The problem is that my hosting provider doesn't allow remote access to the database. Is there any way to put that data into the database?
ps. The strange with all the above is that i run a shareware program that can upload data collected from the flight to my database by simply adding the database name, user ir and password.
I want to know how to connect to a remote system having some shared folder.(ex, \myservermysharedfolder).Actually, I was supposed to copy a particular file which is available in a shared location of a system.

I have tried with System.Management class, but no use..
Rather than use an Entry name of an existing VPN connection, is it possible to connect to a remote network by creating a temporary connection on the fly by using the remote IP/Host name, username and password?
I want to do a small application that made the broadcast of images from a PC. The idea is to make an application of remote management but without the management part, only with the viewing of images. Anyone know any code already done or any API that helps in the project?

Shutting down a pc in vb.net is easy:Process.Start("shutdown", "-s -t 00")less the user has locked the pc in which case the above fails.How do I get around this in vb.net? How do I shutdown a locked PC?
I am making a program that takes a time input from the user or a countdown amount and when that time comes it will shutdown or restart or log off the computer. I know how to make the timing code and everything else but i don't know how to shutdown or restart or log off.
I'm currently writing a small system tray app that needs to shutdown my PC at a certain time. That bit's easy:Process.Start("shutdown", "-s -t 00")But how do I do this when my PC is locked? The above doesn't work and I don't want to leave my PC unlocked and unattended
