VS 2008 : Use WMI To Get Remote System UpTime (Boot Time)?
Aug 4, 2009
how to convert it to .net. I have the Imports System.Management figured out so far.......
strComputer = "." ' Local computer
set objWMIDateTime = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemDateTime")
set objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:\" & strComputer & "
ootcimv2")
set colOS = objWMI.InstancesOf("Win32_OperatingSystem")
I made a code that starts the Disk Check on boot time it works fine on Windows Vista and Windows Xp but on windows 7 I checked the path at were windows 7 stores BootExecute and it is on the same path. Maybe the system is blocking it. Or do i have to change the code.
Here is the code:
Dim rk As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey rk = My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession Manager", True) rk.SetValue("BootExecute", "autocheck autochk /p ??" & Drive) 'Turn ON The Drive String just gets the name of the drive for example C: or D:
I had more problems coding for a windows 7 machine then Vista.
I am trying to set up an "AT" job to export some registry keys on a remote computer, the problem is that DOS command requires a time to run. I want to get the system time of the remote computer so i can schedule it to run 1 minute from the time i send the command.
Is there any way to get the system time of a remote computer with VB.Net code?
1. Does Windows load the .Net framework at boot time? How can I check (eg. some DLL running in the background)? How much RAM does the framework use, so that I check I have enough to pre-load at boot time? Once loaded, will it stay in RAM?
2. What is the point of JIT once the application is installed on a given computer? Are there drawbacks about compiling into binary code applications that I use often on my own computer so that no time is wasted recompiling the application every time it's ran? If not, can I compile apps for which I only the .Net bytecode?
3. Is the framework downward-compatible, ie. will a 2.0 application run if I only have the 4.0 framework installed?
I have an application that should run every time when boot windows(xp/vista). I currently added this app to all programs and startup. How can I do in code. Is the best way to use registry and put the key in HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoft Windows CurrentVersion Run. It is very important to start every time when windows start.

I am wanting to make or have someone help me make a remote support system. I would like it to have a ticket system interegated into it, but if it would be easier to just have the remote support, then I'll just stick with that. I am wanting for my client's to download the client version and then connect to it. Then they give me their IP or some code that I type in and connect and control their computer. I give technical support.
I'm developing a online document management application for my client using the following technologies
Front End - VB.Net 2010 (Windows Forms) Back End - SQL Server 2008 R2 Express (FILESTREAM enabled to level 3)
I wanted to store the files (*.pdf, *.doc, *.exe, .) using the FILESTREAM feature in SQL Server 2008 R2.I prefer FILESTREAM because sometimes the file size exceeds 2GB.I'm able to save and retrieve file with FILESTREAM (using Windows Authentication/Integrated Security).But my client wants to save or retrieve the file from different PC.So I'm in need of accessing the FILESTREAM BLOB from remote systems.
I am working on a little project for my phone creating some sort of remote to turn up/down my system volume via wifi. The phone will send data to a text field on the website lets say such as "vol up" and the vb app sitting on the computer will be constantly reading this text field for key words like "vol up", "vol down". when it see's a recognized command it reacts by turning the volume up and so on. And one more thing: Is it possible to have a vb app that uses http? E.g., sits on port 80 itself and can be accessed via local ip.
I used .NET Framework 1.1 in C/S project before. Now I have updated the project to use .NET Framework 3.5 without modifying source code, but I have found that : the Remoted DateTime values can not be converted to the equivalent local time of a remote computer that is in a different time zone. In .NET Framework 1.1, the DateTime values can be converted automatically.
Does anyone know of a way to programatically find the uptime of a server running Windows 2000? We have a service running on the machine written in VB.NET, that reports back to our server via a webservice.
I've got an ASP.Net application, which starts throwing NUllReferenceExceptions, after a long period of running. The code in question is used early on in each individual session, where we're trying to establish some kind of referrer information. The thing is, I can't fathom out what can throw this exception. The method in question (topmost in the stack trace) is:
Basically i'm trying making a task manager program for myself. I want to know how I can display a message box and or play a sound when system time = time displayed in listview. I have used a dropdown box for the user to select which option they would like to select - sound or message box to popup. The data for the task will be stored in a listview box. I want it so that when the date and the time is = to the date and time set for the reminder the action will follow.Here is my code so far:
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click Dim notext As String = "" If TextBox1.Text = notext Then[code]....
to trace the days of a program installed in user's computer.However, the user can changes the system time of his computer to a advancing date. How can I get a SNTP time from internet to solve this problem?
When I run my app at first its keeps time accurately for the first minute or so there after it starts loosing seconds, and by the end of the day its minutes behind.I've created a class called ServerTimeTimer that has a timers.timer object that elapses every second and adds a second to a dateTime variable, and a property to retrieve the date time.[code]
The Now() function in VB.NET returns date and time which is different from the system time that I see on the right-bottom on the notification bar. It is 15 hours slower than the system time. Has anyone ever met this problem? I'm using .NET 2.0.
I want to delete some temporary log files in remote system without using UNC share path. If I used UNC share path in my application, the application execution was failed. In order to execute successfully, i want to map remote system in my machine and then application was executed successfully by using UNC share path. So, i dont like to use UNC share path in my application.
I have to develop a project by which my office employees can record their time to enter into the office and leave from the office. I have 10 PCs in my office. All PCs are under network environment. This project is highly related to date and time factor. All PCs are used by an individual employee and can not be restricted to change their own PCs local date and time. So I think my project took the date and time from a central server.
I've developed a simple program and in it I 'copy-pasted' some code which makes a copy of the program executable in a particular path (docs folder) and sets registry to start the executable in windows start-up only.. Everything is working absolutely fine in my PC. But when I sent the exe to my friend's PC. Then the antivirus in her PC detected it as a trojan!
I have a requirement that i want to kill the process in the remote server and then delete some log files and update the registry editor and then finally log off and log in to the remote System. Now, I log off the remote system from my application. But i want to login to the system with valid user credentials from my application.
I need to read the value of one subkey located under a list of 17,000 keys in windows registry. I have no problem doing it locally but cannot get the system.management name space to do the same remotely. I know MSDN documents the system.management name space but much more knowledge is assumed than in other areas I have used. Assume no problems with connection and authentication.[code]....
