Develop A Process That Will Monitor Computers That Logon To The Network?
Jul 5, 2010
I want to develop a process that will monitor computers that logon to my network. Gather information such as computer name, time of logon and log out.The process would be located in the icon tray?
I want to create a Small application for all the computers in my house that Monitors Network Traffic Because we are using large amounts of data each month and that leads to high costs.I can Monitor A computers total traffic with the system.net.networkinterface namespace. Now I would like to know if it is possible to Monitor an Process/applications Network Traffic to pinpoint The Problem.I've Read About WMI But there is so Much info on MSDN that i can't actually get to what i want and i don't think there is something so direct like the amount of bytes sent over the network.
I want to make a process monitor tool with WMI that monitor the processes created or deleted, but the code will not work. Note to reference System.Management,
Can I monitor the registry for changes similar to how sysinternals process monitor does it in VB? I have checked many different articles and C# samples but not come any closer to getting an answer, I would like to know if there an easier way (a VB sample perhaps)that you folks can share. Ultimately I'd like to be able monitor other things too like file system, processes etc but wonder most about how the registry can be done in VB...Would using system.management be a start? Or WMI? if so is there a nice VB sample..
actually i have to develop a project to monitor EDI/Edifact data that are send between different EPR systems.Different erp systems means also different database systems. So i have to develop an app to monitor up to 5 tables.These tables can be stored in SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL or DB2. What kind of data access do i have to use ? ODBC ? ADO.NET ?? I actually don't have an idea how to handle this.In the app (i have to write) there should be something like a "DB Configuration for EDI" and there i want to configure if it is SQL, MySQL or what ever that i have to access.In the different Databases all the tables have the same name (means in SQL there is a table called Actlog and in Mysql also a table called Actlog)How can i write my app that it is DB independent ??
Part of an application that I'm building searches the network that the current computer is connected to and returns a list of the IP & MAC addresses and the hostname. It is based largely on the post by richard__deeming at [URL] At the moment, it will only get the information about computers that are in the same workgroup, but I have several computers that need to be shown, that are joined to a domain rather than the workgroup. How can I get the program to find every computer on the network?
I want to develop an accounting software for a mini Super-Store, this program will be able to run on a network with a central database; in other words a network application. I have not used sql sever before neither have I written any application that will run on a network.
I am writhing a program to replace a file in network computers. but the problem is in our network there is 32 bit systems and 64 bit systems. There are different files to be replaced for 32 and 64 bit systems. I have written a program to replace the file.if we give the target of the location (eg \drd001-dsk1C$Documents and SettingsAdministratorPlayerfilename where drd001-dsk1 is the computer name in the network) Is there any way to check if the system that i need to replace the file is 32 or 64 bit
am trying to get the IP address of all of the computers on a network. I know how to fetch the names of the computers on the network but I need to fetch the IP address to. I have a listview control with 2 columns 1 for the name of the computer (1st) and another column for the IP addres (2nd). I have the code so can the IP address be displayed in column 2
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click ListView1.Items.Clear()
I have an application that automatically updates addins for excel from the server to all the computers on our network. right now all i get is an error if excel is open, but what I want to be able to do is check if excel is open on each computer first and give the user a chance to save their current work then close excel. otherwise i cannot update their addins if excel is open.
Here is my Prob- we have a main router from which we use a distributor or hub for internet connection distribution, ever computer connected automatically obtains IP address of format say - 180.50.50.xxx to access net connection.if any connected computer has different IP format than the given one, it cannot access internet.
I need to write a program that can be distributed over a network of 400 computers and that can be updated if necessary. How do i do that with VB if i can at all? What should i learn?
Alright, so my family just got on a new wireless Broadband Plan, and I'm curious as to who actually uses the most downloads each month, so I figured I could do this easier using a program, rather than recording everything using pen and paper.
i am developing an application which i want to use to monitor all print command executed on each and every machine on the network.I would like to record the print documemt name the time, the date, the name of computer on which the print job was made.Bascially it will be like a transaction log/Activity log which will monitor all activities done via each computer.I have researched about this and got to know that i have to use this dll files PrinterQueueWatch_Licensed i have downloaded this but for some reasons i am not able to add these file to my references so that i can start using it.Please is there any other way i can achieve this.[code]....
I'm new in VB, and plan to developed an application that can monitor the network according their subnet and display the network utilisation. Can anybody guide me what is the needed to develope this application on VB..
I am trying to write a program to ping computers on my network to see if they are turned on. So far i have the following:
Code:
If My.Computer.Network.Ping("192.68.0.5") Then MsgBox("Computer is on.") Else MsgBox("Ping request timed out.") End If
If i use ip addresses, this works fine but i would rather use hostnames due to the ip addresses being dynamic (something which is outside my control). Using the hostname, it reurns "Computer is on" if the ping is successful, but if the hostname cannot be found, instead on returning "Ping request timed out", an error occurs as follows:
A first chance exception of type 'System.Net.NetworkInformation.PingException' occurred in System.dll
I have recently finished a console application and deployed it to several computers on our network for testing. As it is just an EXE a copied to the hard drives of selected computers for now. When the app is launched it writes info to an sql DB so I always know which computers it is on.
During the past few weeks I have modified this app at least 6 times (improvements, adjustments, etc)
It is a paint to keep going back to the computers to update it with the new version, and getting mixed up which version i am on - LOL I am looking for advice on how I would go about doing this automatically, for example, it would be cool if I just had to put an updated file in a repositry and clients would use this to update.
In Visual Studio, when I view the properties of my application>assembly information - I can set a file version. Is it possible to extract this info and store it in a variable? I would like to dump the in my DB. Also I could then possibly compare the file version of the launched app against an updated file in a network share folder.
I 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.
i m new in .net programming i am wanting to develop a network application by which i can watch the screens of other computers connected in LAN,i can give permissions/privilages to other users.
I want to write a program that can control port communication in a PC by blocking certain port based on the admins request and also monitor incoming and outgoing network traffic. Can i achieve this using vb.net winsock?
I am wanting to create a logon similar to the Windows Live logon, so in other words. user has frmLogon and is located in Australia. The user enters his/her details and then the program connects to a server in the United States and checks the Username and Password to make sure it is correct if it is correct it allows the user to logon and move to the next stage, if it is wrong it will give him an error message. I am wondering if anyone has a tutorial or source code laying around that I can rip apart and see how it works. I want to put the database on my server and connect to it from my desktop using the logon form.
Second, I have a question which I have been trying to find answer for a wile but without any success.How can I monitor Windows Process for any change (create/kill) after run my app ? the only way I have think about it is that used two lists, the first one load the process list on it and the second refresh each 1 sec to get the new one and compare the two to know the difference, but its useless because you cant know who killed or created the process and other information.
As I have been read before, I guess there is a need to implement windows API, hook to detect process changes ? Is there any idea or solution for this?
I am using the following code to start a CMD process, my question is.My application starts up a CMD, and then the CMD commands a php file to start up and run. How can I track both of these process, so I can start and stop them?
So I got this idea to write a very small application for a school project that raises a balloon from the system tray everytime a new process is getting launched or an existing process quits.
With my current code, I am getting the list of processes using a timer.This list needs to be compared with the previous list and detect differences (if this is possible, or should I use a different concept)? I have no clue how to do this.
I currently have:A ListView (ListView1), with the View property to "Details" A Timer (at a 5000ms interval), with the following
Firstly im aware that the code below will auto run the default browser.
Code:
But i need to find a way of finding out what the default browser is. Is there a registry setting that displays this? also whats the best way to monitor for a process start or exit?
I was thinking about making a listview that updates every second checking for new entrys or entrys that have gone. But is this the best way if i only need to monitor 1 or 2 proceses?
