I am working on a project that includes having my VB app pull event log data from a Windows 200x server remotely. Does anyone have any code snippets or reference sites that would have information on remotely accessing admin functions/data in a Win2Kx server environment?
View 2 RepliesI am working on creating a web app that will query event logs on internal servers for events using a specific ID. Since most of the servers are running Windows Server 2003, I cannot use the preferred System.Diagnostics.Eventing.Reader method that I was hoping to use.
I've seen the mention of using WMI, but would like to avoid this if possible. I have dabbled with the System.Diagnostics class but cannot seem to get it working when running on a server. It is able, when testing locally, to query my event log, but displays nothing when put on the final server. There is no error that is displayed after the program is ran.
I have a program called "Blue Coat K9 Web Protection" installed on all of the computers, which filter unwanted content on the internet. My problem is that every-time one of the children wish to access a website that has been unintentionally blocked, I have to enter my password to bypass the filter for that page, which can get quite annoying having to run around the house. To access the AdminCP, you have to enter an IP address in the browser on the local machine (127.0.0.1:2372)so you can change the settings.I wish to create a program that will allow me to remotely access the Admin page to unblock any sites needed from my computer.

where I might find C# versions of the VB.NET code snippets built in to Visual Studio (2008)?What are Code Snippets?VB.NET has a wide-ranging collection of snippets that cover most of the basic tasks one might want to accomplish, i.e. File I/O, LINQ, DB connectivity, and so on. C# has a much smaller and narrower library, mainly stuff for NetFX 3.0, Refactoring, and something called "other", among one or two other items.

View 2 RepliesI'm working on a program to read event log entries from several remote servers...its basically to automate some daily checks we doMy code works but is very slow as the event logs can have up to 60,000 entries in them.I only need to check the logs from the specified date but when i run this it appears to check from the oldest entry to the newest. does anyone know how to reverse the order it looks in? or to save the index it checked from yesterday to a file and only check newer entries next time it's run (obviously i know how to save a number to a file and read it back.. i just mean in terms of the eventlog API stuff!!!)

View 1 RepliesI have been searching for a good code example that will place a small server program on my server and then allow me to use a client on my pc that will tell the server program to run a batch file on the server.
I thought this would be simple... I am finding it not that easy.
We have a server that users need to execute a command on however we do not want them to have login rights to the server so this will allow them to execute the batch file without having to log in.

I am trying to make an application which logs on to a server using the telnet protocol runs a couple of commands and stores the output of these commands in a text file.The problem is that I cant really seem to figure out how to negotiate the telnet commands. I have done a packet capture of a telnet session todifferent servers using a packet capturing program and I dont seem to find any fixed pattern. Every server negotiates the command in its own different way and in a different sequence, moreover the commands exchanged are not the same.
What I want to do is to exchange the bare minimum commands which will allow me to log on to any server via telnet, run my commands, take the output and logout.I have searched the internet for such a set of 'general' telnet commands but I wasnt able to find any.
I have created a vb.net application that uses a SQL Server database at a remote location over the internet.There are 10 vb.net clients that are working on the same time.The problem is in the delay time that happens when inserting a new row or retrieving rows from the database, the form appears to be freezing for a while when it deals with the database, I don't want to use a background worker to overcome the freeze problem.I want to eliminate that delay time and decrease it as much as possible?
View 3 RepliesIn my application, I've built an object that communicates with an OPC server and whenever the value of a certain OPC item changes, it logs all the OPC items to a database. This all works beautifully. However, I'm having a problem with disposing of the instances of this class. Whenever I want to remove an instance of this class from the application, I'm dereferencing the object (objDevice = Nothing) and letting GC take care of the rest. I've inserted breakpoints and am monitoring to ensure that the object is dereferenced (it is).
Problem is, even after the object has been dereferenced and is CONFIRMED to be equal to Nothing, the object is still logging data to the database. I'm still trying to get a handle on disposing of objects properly, but most everything I read tells me to dereference and let Garbage Collection take over.
