creating remote desktop connection in vb.net using Microsoft Terminal Services(msrdp.ocs). The main objective is to remote monitor clients without interrupting them or knowing they are monitored.

View 2 RepliesThis code so far works like a charm, and I need a couple more things before I'm finished.
1. I know the UPN (userPrincipalName) is setup using user.Properties("userPrincipalName").Value = ComboBox2.Text and that works fine... however, we have an additional UPN name.. check out the picture below.
2. Any way to setup the Remote Desktop Services Profile up? Peticularly Remote Desktop Services home folder. Where Connet: would be selected, as well as Drive letter, and To: would be filled out as well. [code]
I want to use the c# write a programe to get the logon session information.I use the WTS_INFO_CLASS Enumeration refrenced to the msdn library,the url link is [URL]
Everything is ok except the WTSClientBuildNumber property. The WTSClientBuildNumber that I get is 5875288,but it should be 6001.I use the 6.0.6001 RDC for my test.Can anyone tell me the problem.
The following is my sample code
If WTSQuerySessionInformation2(ptrOpenedServer, active_session, WTS_INFO_CLASS.WTSClientBuildNumber, istr, returned) = True Then
ClientInfo.WTSClientBuildNumber = istr.ToString()
End If

View 6 RepliesHas anyone ever come across a way of a way to create an app that kind of mimics what Terminal Services manager does in Windows2003/XP.
I would like to write something that would either go and query a farm of server every n secs a get me a list of users logged in, there process's etc or do maybe type a username in and it goes and finds the user in the farm and returns their details.
I'm looking for an API/function I can call to determine if software is running on Citrix, Terminal Services, or a stand-alone PC. Optimally, it would work something like this: [code]I would prefer something that worked from an API call as opposed to looking at something in the registry as we're having more and more customers that are locking down the registry.
View 3 RepliesI have built an application in VB 2010 on my Windows 7 Pro desktop. I have a particular combo box with a datasource that is dynamically populated, depending on certain values entered by the user; it may or may not have any records in the datasource. When I run/install the application on my desktop, the combo box acts normal, if I click the dropdown button and the datasource contains no records, the combobox will show a single blank beneath the combobox (to indicate no records). When I perform the same action on server 2003, the combobox DOES NOT show a blank row, it does nothing! It act's like it's broken.
View 3 RepliesWe want to set up a bunch of thin clients linked to a server running server 2003 using terminal services. When the thin client runs our app it needs to know which station it is so it can gather information unique to itself from the database. (IP address?). Our app is written in VB6.

View 2 RepliesI put together a small app I want to use on my local network for service monitoring across a few of my servers.
I'm using vb.net express 2010 with system.serviceprocess imported The problem I am having is that my code only seems to work locally, and will not retrieve the service data for any server on my network.
For example, my local machine is called "office-pc", and when running the app on it, I get all the service information.
Dim localServices As ServiceController() = ServiceController.GetServices("office-pc")
For Each localservice As ServiceController In localServices
ComboBox1.Items.Add(localservice.DisplayName)
Next
But, if I want the service info from my web server called "casper", I use the same code, but i change the GetServices() parameter like so;
Dim localServices As ServiceController() = ServiceController.GetServices("casper")
For Each localservice As ServiceController In localServices
ComboBox2.Items.Add(localservice.DisplayName)
Next
After a few seconds delay, nothing happens, ComboBox2 remains empty.
It was my understanding that GetServices() would get the local machines service info unless a machine name was specified, which in both cases is true.
So why isn't it working? Do I need to set something up on the network servers first?
how to catch faxing errors (outbound) using VB.NET.I am using this reference: MSDN Basically, the issue is that SBS2008 Event Log does not give the same amount of information that Windows XP did, so the users are being forced to look in the text activity log. Am I forced to loop through the log for new items, or can I actually catch errors as they come?My ultimate goal is to send an email report with the erroneous fax information (destination#, error reason, code, body or attachment).So essentially I need to figure out how to catch fax errors as they arise, by listening (this will be a VB.NET console app), and then I can take it from there.
Private Sub GetOutgoingArchiveMessages()
Dim objFaxServer As New FAXCOMEXLib.FaxServer
Dim vMessages As FAXCOMEXLib.FaxOutgoingMessageIterator
[code]....
This is what I am using to get the outgoing archive messages, but I either need to reliably get an error when it happens there, or get one on demand. I would much rather just poll the fax service for the information if I can.
I am looking for a bit of inspiration here, a client has requested me to build a simple remote process monitoring application with capability for smtp notification, when monitored processes go down or come back on-line. Can anyone point me in the direction of some sample code to get me started. I have briefly looked at .net remoting as a potential development path, from my understanding of how this works, the remoting architecture would require both a client and remote server component, (though I am not a 100% sure on this one), however if this is the case, then it will not fit the bill, as one of the fundamental requirements is that no additional software can be deployed on the servers which are to be monitored

View 6 RepliesI have an application that will run on a terminal similar to a micros terminal. The terminal is already running another vendors app that captures the users logon ID from a swipecard. I need to capture the same logon ID at the same time. This is no problem, I just hook it.
The problem is I have another app which also captures swipes. In development I am running both apps for testing. It appears that when I unhook one app it unhooks both. Rehook and all is fine. As my two apps will never be on the same terminal this is not a problem. What I am concerned about is the vendors app unhooking mine or the other way around.
I would of thought that each app would have it's own ID and that each hook would be independent. I have considered finding a way to determine if a global hook is present and then use some logic to decide on unhooking or not but can't find anything.
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.

So I moved the code to an ASP.Net web app, which is impersonating a service account through the Impersonate section of web.config. The account I am impersonating does not have admin rights on any of the workstations so I put in a username/password into the constructor for the computer entry like so:
Dim deComputer As New DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" + Computername + ",computer", username, password).The username is that of a domain account which has local admin rights on every workstation. If I look at the Username property of the resulting deComputer object I can see that the username matches what I entered.Also if I enter in an invalid password it throws an error, so it is authenticating in some fashion.
However if I now try and add or remove a user from a remote workstation I get a general access denied error. If I add the service account that ASP.Net is using as a local admin on that workstation it will add and remove no problem.So next I tried using the LogonAPI (advapi32.dll ->LogonUser call) to login as the user account that is a local admin on all workstations, impersonated the resulting WindowsIdentitiy and tried running just the original deComputer instantiation. When I do this every property, excepty Path, returns an OLE exception..
