Is it possible to create a folder on a remote machine that has no previously shared folders? I can do this...
vb
Dim fname As String = "\10.1.x.yDocumentsMyFolderName"
IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(fname)

I need to open a folder on a remote server with different credentials in a window (explorer.exe).I managed to do it with no credentials (my credentials), but when I do it with another username and another password than mine, it opens a prompt to enter a username and a password, and it says "access denied".
In the access log on the remote desktop, it says that I tried to connect with my own username, and not the other username I entered. So, the process obviously did not work.

NetShareAdd API from a VB.NET application (.NET version 2.0) and although I can get the API to just create a basic shared folder I now want to create a shared folder and specify its Share permissions (not NTFS permissions) as well, which means I have to pass in a SHARE_INFO_502 structure rather than just a SHARE_INFO_2 like I was previously doing for creating a basic share. I have spent over 5 hours solid just trying to get this working and am getting to the point now where I really cant think of anything else to try.I've encountered several problems whilst trying to make this work but the one I am finally stuck on is this: When I call NetShareAdd it returns the error INVALID_PARAMETER and the parm_ err object (which is supposed to specify which member of the SHARE_INFO_502 structure caused the error) holds the value 501. I know it is something to do with the security descriptor because if I comment out the line where I set the SHARE_INFO_502 structure's shi502_ security_descriptor field then the code works without an error (just obviously does not set the share permissons I want).I think posting all of the code here might be a bad idea as its currently over 150 lines long (yes that is only code for getting this API working...) so I'll just post my definitions of the SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure and the code I am actually using to call the various APIs involved: [code] Each of those API calls prior to NetShareAdd returns a non-error value in the Debug.WriteLine that is done after each one, but there is obviously an issue somewhere with the security descriptor.
View 2 RepliesDont know how easy this would be, but basically I'm just wondering if there is any way in VB.net you can close open files on a remote PC.In my scenario the vb.net app would be running with domain admin permissions in most cases so would have access to things like the remote Computer Management console, which of course has the Open Files section in it which lets you close any open files on the remote machine its connected to.So I fugured there must be some way to do it in vb.net... I just dont know if its going to be more hassle than its worth and I dont really know where to start looking (ive used googled but not had much joy).

View 1 RepliesWe're trying to write code to obtained all the logged on users to a remote machine.
We have the following, which only seems to identify users if they are logged in locally. However, if they're logged in through some other means (such as remote desktop), it doesn't seem to pick those users up.
How can we obtain all the users logged into a machine while excluding those users who only have a process running but aren't logged in (eg, a service is installed by them and might be currently running under their name)?

I'm having an issue here with making a WMI connection to a remote machine using specified administrator credentials.I have the WMI code inside a function, I pass it the computer's name and it returns the WMI information that I am requesting as a string (or in this particular case, an integer) from the remote machine. I'm positive it works, and returns the information I need using specified admin username/password. NOW, the issue I am having is related to (it seems) calling this function from a backgroundworker. [code] "Value does not fall within the expected range." I literally have no clue why this would throw that exception, yet when I call this function from lets say just a random button on my form, it works beautifully. The key here is that I need my WMI requests/processing to run in the background.
