View 4 RepliesI 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.

We have a program that uses ms access as the back end database, which is stored on a local server. The issue we are having is that our office is split in two locations. The remote users are having unacceptable speed issues since they have to communicate over the vpn. Im trying to find a way to either place the database somewhere that is quickly accessable to both offices, or to create a copy of the database on the remote server and somehow sync the two databases periodically.

View 2 RepliesUsually, when I reset the IIS of a remote server, I have to use "Remote Desktop Connection", log in, and go to DOS , and type "iisreset". Now I'm wondering is it possible to do the exact same thing without using "Remote Desktop Connection" application? Could this be done programmitically and remotely (because the program will not be running on the actual server)? Of course, I'll be providing the username and password within the program.

I've taken MS 4994A (Intro to VB.net), and am studying for 4995A (Advanced Intro to VB.net)Previous experience with VB6 and C++ tells me that the way to do it would be to create a program that will accept a list of computer names and check the registry one-by-one (I'm open to suggestions, though, of course). If it finds the program we're wanting to remove, it will remove it, then automagically install .net 2.0 and the .net version of the programs that were just removed.

View 1 RepliesI'm developing an application that needs to Map a network drive for a domain user logged into a domain PC from a remote location. I have tried numerous different things with different levels of success but none with the required functionality. - First, I used WMI to create a process that would run Net Use with no luck: Net Use would ask for a user name and password to connect to the share instead of using the User's credentials.- Second I generated a script (wshNetwork) that would be copied to the remote PC and used WMI to once again create a process that would run wscript in command prompt to execute the copied script.
The script would run successfully (as evident by code placed to fill in a text file when the script completed) but the network drive was not added.- Third I created a program that would be copied to the user's PC which would map the drive using Windows Network API. Again, I used WMI to execute the program as a proccess with the results the same as the script. The application would run successfully but the drive was not added.- Fourth, I edited the user's registry to add the drive. This worked, however the mapped drive was not usable through Windows Explorer without a reboot.
Unfortunately, one of the requirements of the application is to avoid rebooting the remote PC.I have arguably had the greatest success with the following:- I used WMI to generate a scheduled task on the remote PC that would run a script (wshNetwork), an application (Win API) or the Net Use command to map the drive. All resulted in the drive being properly mapped and visable through windows explorer with the files accessable. However, the new map would be labeled "Disconnected Network Drive" and the drive could not be removed (error: network connection could not be found) and the driver letter could not be used without rebooting the system. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can do this? Unfortunately I can't use wshController to run a remote script because a majority of the PCs on the domain are not configured to use it.

I'm running a VB.NET application 24 hours a day on a dedicated machine. I'd like to be able to receive status updates and also control/debug the application remotely (i.e. from another computer via the internet).It would be an advantage if the communication was lightweight (in terms of bytes sent and received) so I can control the thing without needing a fast internet connection. Also, I'm running the application from within the IDE at the moment because there are some unhandled exceptions and it's easier to debug this way. It would be nice if I didn't have to compile it and catch all the errors.What is the easiest way to set something like this up, and what do I need to be aware of in terms of security?
Update:To clarify what input I need to give the application - in theory, none. If all went to plan I'd just set the application off and reading some sort of log would be fine. The problem is that it is unstable (mainly because it calls a web service which is very unstable and returns all sorts of weird things) and therefore seems to need constant input on my part.
It was my thinking that the only way I could do this sort of debugging remotely is by catching every error I could, reading the log, and somehow instructing the application to behave properly in future.
My desktop application is developed in VB.Net and can be run through two types of users, one who install it on their local machine and execute locally.
Second type of users will run the application remotely from the server.i.e. Application will install on the server and user will execute that application from client side. Server can be a Citrix Meta Frame or any server accessed through Remote Desktop Connection. I want to maintain single exe for both types of users.
Is there any mechanism/way through which I can come to know programmatically whether application is running locally or remotely?
I 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.
