Dont know how easy this would be, but basically I'm just wondering if there is any way in VB.net you can close open files on a remote PC.In my scenario the vb.net app would be running with domain admin permissions in most cases so would have access to things like the remote Computer Management console, which of course has the Open Files section in it which lets you close any open files on the remote machine its connected to.So I fugured there must be some way to do it in vb.net... I just dont know if its going to be more hassle than its worth and I dont really know where to start looking (ive used googled but not had much joy).
Here is the problem: I have written an application that opens an excel file, copys a chart to the clipboard, then closes the excel file. It works fine except under a very special condition. If the user has an excel file open and then runs my application, the open excel file closes. To make this more confusing, if the user then reopens an excel file and runs my application again, everything works fine. It will continue to work fine untill the user reboots his or her computer. Then it will occur again one time
Here is the section of code I found the problem is in: Private Sub Get_R1C1_Image() 'Gets excel data to display Dim objXLS As Object = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
In my program, I have a timer with a inteval set to 1000ms. The timer is executing a MySQL-command, and right now I'm opening and closing the connection each time.
We have an app that tracks .DOC and .PDF files (and possibly other file extensions). It stores copies of them on a network share. I want to give the ability to the user to allow them to click the file in a listview, for example, and have that file open in WORD or ADOBE or whatever program is associated with that file type.
I've been looking for ways to convert a pdf to an image so i can display a preview of the file in my application. I google and find a bunch of api's you have to pay for, but I would like to know how to actually do this myself...
I am having trouble reading the event log on another machine. From what I can gather the .geteventlogs("server01") method should return the logs from the computer named "server01" but it doesn't work for me. It returns the results from the local machine instead.

In a program I'm working on, I want a "Loading..." dialog to close when it can't log in to a site using the username and password provided by the user. Basically, I have the code set up right because the function it is supposed to carry out when that occurs does work, but for some reason it ends up in some really weird stuff happening. In the Loading form, I have it set to do "Form1.Show()" and then "Me.Close()", assuming it would simply show the login form and then close the Loading form. However, when this happens, the Loading form closes, and then for only an instant Form1 shows, and then the Loading form shows and Form1 closes. This happens forever until I stop the debugging, and I can't seem to figure out why. Am I using the wrong method? What exactly does Me.Close() do anyways? All I want to do is close the form and open another
We're trying to write code to obtained all the logged on users to a remote machine.
We have the following, which only seems to identify users if they are logged in locally. However, if they're logged in through some other means (such as remote desktop), it doesn't seem to pick those users up.
How can we obtain all the users logged into a machine while excluding those users who only have a process running but aren't logged in (eg, a service is installed by them and might be currently running under their name)?
Dim WMIObject As String = "winmgmts://" & strComputerName.Text & "/root/cimv2" Dim oComputerQuery As Object 'Contains a sorted list of every user logged into the system
I'm using the 2.0 framework to get a list of queues from a remote machine. Sometimes the machine has a firewall and then the user has to wait 80 seconds or so before an exception is thrown stating that the machine is unavailable. Questions: Is there any way that I can set/change the timeout for GetPrivateQueues ByMachine? Is there any other method I can call before running GetPrivateQueuesByMachine to see whether the machine is responding? One that has configurable timeout, Any other solution?
When am trying read Windows 2008 serivices Remotely from 2003 server by using following VB Script :
'Objective: TO check the SQLServicesHeartbeat of all SQL Server services and send email 'if any state of service is not running 'on error resume next Set iFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FilesyStemObject") Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FilesyStemObject") [Code] .....
I am able to get read all windows 2003 servies, but not able to read Windows 2008 SQL Services Remotely, error throwing in the above line : Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\" & strComputer & "ootcimv2").
I'm having an issue here with making a WMI connection to a remote machine using specified administrator credentials.I have the WMI code inside a function, I pass it the computer's name and it returns the WMI information that I am requesting as a string (or in this particular case, an integer) from the remote machine. I'm positive it works, and returns the information I need using specified admin username/password. NOW, the issue I am having is related to (it seems) calling this function from a backgroundworker. [code] "Value does not fall within the expected range." I literally have no clue why this would throw that exception, yet when I call this function from lets say just a random button on my form, it works beautifully. The key here is that I need my WMI requests/processing to run in the background.
Well it would appear that you need to close IO.StreamReader every time you try and open a new document. So I have tried to do this a variety of ways, with no success. I am open to the option of having it check the same document for the Username, Password, and HWID. (Yes, I know that this is not in any way a secure method to gather data but their is a reason for my madness) Anyways onto the code, I removed the URL (Yes, I did check to make sure they were all valid and worked).
VB Dim wc As New Net.WebClient 'Downloading the list.. Dim hread As New IO.StreamReader(wc.OpenRead("myurl")) 'URL to the list Dim uread As New IO.StreamReader(wc.OpenRead("myurl")) 'URL to the list
The conditions are I don't have administrator privilege I want to see the status of a service in remote machine (server)I use the following code (vb.net with framework 2.0) to see the status
Dim sqlSvc As ServiceController Svc = New ServiceController(My.Settings.serviceName, My.Settings.machineName) If sqlSvc.Status.ToString.Equals("Running") Then displayStatus("success", sqlSvc.Status.ToString) Else displayStatus("error", sqlSvc.Status.ToString) End If
When running the code, InvalidOperationException is raised and found out that I need admin right in the server.Can I lookup the status of the service without having admin right in remote machine ?
I m writing a code for Telnet application. I want to simulate the double click event on the remote machine. I think mouse_event api will be used but i m unable to implement it..
I'm trying to execute a program on a remote machine using this code
Dim objProcess As New System.Diagnostics.Process objProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe" objProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = " /c PSExec /accepteula \NTAPPMTMIGL01 -u $AdminUsrLocal -p tjdsi44 c:winntMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727gacutil.exe"
[code]....
If I use it, it works since I'm an admin but if someone else use it, I got "The system cannot find the file specified."Is there any other program I can use that can impersonate, I've already tried xcmd.exe but it doesm't work either.
I am a new member here and a new user of VB.Net.So, I would like to know how to make an application that can control the processes and the services in a remote machine.
