Check When Process Is Running On A Remote Computer?
Dec 4, 2009
I need to check if the explorer.exe process is running on a remote computer to verify that there is a user logged on the computer. I Also want to get the Process Owner of the explorer.exe process to check which user is logged on. I have found some VBscript examples online, but i can't seem to get them to work. If anyone knows of a better way of checking if and what user is logged on to a computer, please give me a reply also. I have tried System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses, but i can't seem to get the owner of the process, maybe WMI will do the trick ?
I'm trying to develop a windows application where i can get connected to remote server and look for process state going in remote server.We have many remote servers where automatic installation of software going on. We have an xml file(installstatus.xml) where it tells us at what stage the installation is (Example : Inprogress , Completed, Failed.)
So our aim is to develop a windows application where i can get connected to that servers and look for their installation status(may be we can use installstatus.xml to look for installation status). Every time i connect to a server, the server information should get stored in XML file(i want to create a xml file where all the servers list i connect to should get stored)
The UI at left side should will have list of servers i can connect to. When i get connected to server, at right side of UI, i want to display the status of installation (In progress, failed , completed).
I am using this code to try to connect to a computer/server from my desk top. but keep getting errors The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)
Dim options As ConnectionOptions options = New ConnectionOptions()
OK, I was talking to someone at work and he came up with this idea that I should make a program that notifies me if a certain process is running.
There is a process on another PC that I want to check if it is running or not because due to extreme memory usage issues of the program, we only run one instance of it at a time.
What I want to do is make a program so that I can know if that process is running without having to get up and check. But I'm not sure where to start exactly.
My friend said maybe use the WMI. With the WMI will I need a host/client program, the host detecting status of the process on the other machine which sends a message to the client program on my PC telling me if it is running or not.
I've never done something like this before so all I'm asking for is some direction into what technologies I need to be using and maybe some guides on how to go about this as I have no clue where to start.
I looking for a solution for how to check if a connection to a remote computer exist or not using vb.net.
I 'm writing a program which will request data from a remote sql server. I need to check if the connection to the remote server exist, before open the connection or run the the sql command.
I am trying to make a vb.net program which will perform WMI queries to check for remote computer's name and OS. I manage to do the first query of name using the code below..
[Code]...
I am getting error "Local variable 'query' is already declared in the current block. (BC30288)".I understand that I am using same name for the object variable for performing subsequent query. Is there a way in which I can dispose the variable completely and reuse it again for querying the new required WMI detail? My search in the net couldn't give me any clue as of how to clear the variable and use it again. The issue is with two variables "query" and "searcher". Is it only possible that I should give unique names to each query object variable as I might add more queries later on?
Im working on a small virus removal application, and i have a piece of code to check if a process is running,although, it doesn't seem to work.The code is as follows:
ListView2.Items.Add(TimeOfDay + " - Starting Process Scanner") Dim Vir As Process() = Process.GetProcesses Dim a As Integer For a = 0 To Vir.Length - 1 Debug.WriteLine(Vir(a).ProcessName)
I'm not sure how I would use Process.GetProcessesByName()to check if a process is running, and if it isn't start it, using VB.NET?I know how to start a process using Process.Start().
I need to check if a certain process is NOT running. So until now i've been using a loop and if it doesn't find the process then it alerts me (with MsgBox) however now i realized that the for each loops looks on each process and if that process isn't the one im looking for its gonna give me an alert, that it was not running even when the next process could be the one i need to know about. [Code]
I just want add new feature on my game launcher, that can be detect game.exe is running or not, I can detect it but I want program label1.text will be "Game Stopped." After game.exe is closed. For example:User Start the game, because window title of game.exe is "game" so I am using this to Detect game.exe: [code]
Ok so I'm working on an anti-hack program for my online game and when the game is running it hides its self in the background. I need it to periodically or always(Would that slow down the computer its on?)check if processes are running so it can stop them. If possible I would also like to know how I can have it so if the anti-hack's process is closed, the client.exe process will also close.What I have currently is:
I have a label on my form called label1.text, I was wondering if it would be possible to display a text if there are more than 1 process running? The process I would like to check is the current exe (the windows application I'm creating)
I'm not asking how to exit the program( dispose() ) instead I have a program that checks if a certain process is running and if so it displays a message box, stops the process and (Should) exit the program. If the process is not detected then the program loads normally and opens an external program. My problem is that it stops the process and still runs the program. How can I fully stop the code and exit my program?
I am trying to write a Windows Script that will allow me to monitor the following: That 2 x seperate but specific processes within Component Services "Running Processes" list are currently running and have not reset within the past hour. If I already know the PID, then I can retrieve the CreationDate (I assume which I can use to check for restarts? or is this the actual process creation/installation date) for each specific process, however if a restart occurs the PID will change and my script needs to know what the new PID is without me telling it!
I need to copy a file from a local computer to a remote computer on the network, if i try to use File.Copy without logon i get the following error:"Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password."How do I provide user name and password for file copy?
I tried to get os version of remote computer using ip address with WMI ,It shows "RPC server unavailable" error.If anybody have solution for getting remote system information without WMI in vbnet,
I'm executing a remote process using WMI and would like to redirect the StandardOutput of that process back to my program. I have found these code examples:
I want to find the computer which are connected with my computer via lan connection using vb.net code. actually a have a mini project in network connection setting.
We have an VB.NET VS 2005 application that goes out and connects to remote computers on the network to gather information about the running services, processes, etc.
However, not all of the computers and servers are Windows boxes, and this is causing us some grief.
Is there a way in VB .NET to determine if a computer is running a Windows OS before trying to make a connection to it?
i have a task to create a TCP Server (a program that is listening on its network card interfaces for incoming data stream).I have search on the internet and i found that i can use two methods : Socket or TCPListener class.I have created an example for Socket class, but i wondering how could i test it? I need to check that if another computer in the network send some string data to the listener computer , then this message should be displayed.Here is the example from microsoft that i am using for TCP Server using Socket:
Public Shared Sub Main() ' Data buffer for incoming data. Dim data = nothingc[code]....
But it does not work because of the PORT setting.If in the TCP Server i have "Dim localEndPoint As New IPEndPoint(ipAddress, 0)" the client crashes, but if i change the port from any (0) to 11000 for example,the client works fine.Do you know why?
Later edit2:Maybe i should have started with this question:Which method is recommended for my scope?asynchronous or synchronous method ?
i am trying to write a little program that checks for a process and kills is.here is the
Dim p As Process = Process.GetProcessesByName("Cheat Engine")(0) p.CloseMainWindow()[code]...
My problem is it�s woking ,yes if the programm ,,Cheat Engine" is running the process is getting killed.But if the program is not running my program crashes.
Trying to create a button that when clicked will check to see if a certain process image is running and if that process is running give the process focus. If the process is not running then start the application.
Is it possible to reload a form of the running application from one computer when I executed a function from my other computer with the same application? co'z I want to see the changes of data on my datagrid view?
I have a VB.Net application that I wrote and want to run it from a remote computer. It runs fine on both computers but not visible on the remote's screen. The program is in the task bar and can be run or closed remotely. Just can't see the GUI
