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..?)

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 am writing a network diagramming application with SNMP autodiscovery. I can query SNMP devices but I need to be able to differentiate between laptops, servers, and workstations. The only response I recieve is cpu information, os version, and the cpu stepping. Any idea on how to get the type of a remote network device? This might be more a networking question.

I am trying to open a file from a server
I currently have
Dim attachedFilePath As String = "\myservermyshare est.txt"
File.Open(attachedFilePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read)
This does not open a file.
However, if I change the path to be local then there is no issue.
Dim attachedFilePath As String = "c:... est.txt"
So, is there a way to open a file from remote storage?
I'm using System.Management.ManagementScope to connect to a remote computer and install an MSI package. This works great if the MSI is located on the remote computer, but it fails if I try to use a network location to run the MSI from. The UNC path is correct because if I manually type it from the remote computer it runs fine. There must be a limitation (security I'm thinking) that prevents things from running via WMI if the exe isn't local to the remote machine.My last hope will be to copy the MSI from the network location, store it locally on the remote computer, then run it - but I'd really rather not have to do that.
View 3 RepliesI have created a program that allows me to remotely access computers on my network (not all done by me i found some code online) however i want to modify that program to allow me to connect to computers not on my network. How can i go about doing this? My program consists of a client and a server. When the server runs it listens for the client on the client side i enter the IP address and it connects so i can send remote commands to the remote system.

View 2 RepliesHere is my idea so far: I have a bunch of computers connected in a local network. One of them is a MySQL server, one will have a vb.NET program wich will act as a "second server" and the rest will be different clients. What I want to do is that the "second server" will send out some kind of message or network package to some of the clients in the network, and they will execute a code based on what message it is, or what kind of package it is. I'll give you a simple example:

View 8 RepliesI have a .NET 2.0 *.dll that calls My.Computer.Network.Ping(). The *.dll is then run out of an *.exe via AppDomain.CreateDomain() and Invoke(). The problem is that this works just fine under Windows XP but under Windows 7, I get an exception saying that no network connection is available. I tried the Ping() call out of a small console application under Windows 7 and it works just fine.

View 1 RepliesI am writing some code as part of a framework for opening a file.The file is of custom type and should not be opened by more than one instance of my application. To stop multiple file opening I use a filestream to create a lock file and then keep said filestream open. This seems to work in preventing another instance of my application from opening the file ( as it will fail in recreating the lock stream in the files open code ) but if the file is on a network share and the network drops then the original application also can not access the file any more.The code to get the lock stream is as follows:
Try
' We need to keep this stream alive to prevent other applications gaining access to the lock
mLockStream = New FileStream(mLockPath, FileMode.CreateNew, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None)[code]....
In this I create the lock stream the first time round and then if another application tries to create it, it throws an exception and stops them from getting any further. This is kind of how it needs to work, unfortunately as I said, if this is done across a network and then the network connection is dropped for some reason then I can not delete the lock stream as I get an IOException telling me a process cannot access the file as it is open in another process ( which shouldn't be happening I don't think).
Can I call shutdown.exe by using GetProccessByID? If so, what is the code(In VB 2005)?
View 3 RepliesI've written a program which I propose to give a local club, which sadly may be'attractive' to pirates so I propose to build in some sort of anti-copying feature.My idea is to hide a file in a folder somewhere in the club's laptop, then on program start up I'll check to see if that file exists and if it's not there, which it's unlikely to be on a pirates machine, I'll flag up a message box saying that if they have a legitimate reason to install the program on a different machine they'll have to contact myself.By way of nuisance value, pressing the 'OK' button on the message box will cause the machine running, what I'm assuming is a pirated copy, to shut down.I've been looking at the VB.NET forum and MSDN for ideas as to how to achieve this and the general opinion seems to be:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Process.Start("shutdown", "-s")

I have a fully working application which runs in the background while a user is logged in. What I need the application to do, is disconnect itself from the database, save the users settings and close itself when the user shuts the computer down or logs off.I know how to do those things, the issue I am facing is figuring out how to detect when the computer is logging off or shutting down. I thought about using log off scripts to do this but then it would be impossible to call classes and methods from my application as the log off scripts are not associated with my application at all. Are there any other methods of telling my application when the computer is shutting down and then run some lines of code?
