Hi all, I need to write a asp.net web service (in vb.net, rather than c#) asp.net page, which will run a couple of commands on a red hat server (basically, run the "service httpd status" command) and return the output to the browser window. Is this possible, and if so, any idea how I go about...

Perfect! Thanks Steve, just what I was looking for. Never thought to search on cpan (doh!). Thanks again.

Hi all, I have created an ASP.NET intranet that monitors and controls all the Windows services etc in my network. I need to add to this so I can control and monitor services on my Linux and Solaris boxes. I realise that doing this in ASP.NET is probably impossible or very difficult, but no...

This doesn't seem to happen in my case. They are using roaming profiles, but no Windows folder is created. If I create one, and put the ini file in there, it is ignored. However, the administrator account (local, not roaming) has a windows folder already created and it did copy the ini file into...

Hi All, I am in the process of setting up a terminal server on Windows Server 2003 and all is well except for one thing. I have a custom program that depends on using an ini file that resides within C:\Windows. The trouble is, this file needs to be unique for each user, as they have their own...

Not to worry - managed to figure out through trial and error! I used the following: FOR /F %%i IN (C:\MyProg\pc-list.txt) DO xcopy C:\MyProg\MyProg.exe \\%%i\C$\MyProg /C /F /R /V /Y ...and then exported the PC names from Active Directory into pc-list.txt so that the batch file could loop...

Hi all, I have a batch file which will copy an updated copy of a file onto all the PCs in the domain. However, there are 80 PCs it has to copy to, and I'm not sure how to make the batch file cycle through all the PCs without having to enter each command. The command is: xcopy...

Thanks for the links - I guess I will just have to rebuild his profile.

Once of the PC's in my office seems to have a problem, but only under one profile. The user can no longer connect to any Windows Server 2003 server using remote desktop (version 6.0). He used to be able to, but now if he tries any server, it instantly says it cannot contact the server. He...

Yes, both servers can be seen from both admin tools. All mailboxes have moved with no errors or warnings, and yet they still remain visible in Exchange 5.5. There are plenty of event logs but no errors or warnings except one which occurs with each mailbox move, but which Microsoft say is normal...

Hi - I'm trying to move users from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003 on two different servers. I'm using the Exchange Move Mailbox feature in exchange tasks. The mailbox moves to the new Exchange 2003 server, but it also remains on the 5.5. Users can access their mailbox, however, when i delete it...

Thank you both for your advice. I have decided, after looking both at WMI and 3rd party software, that the easiest thing to do is write a Windows Service to monitor the folders and then replicate the files that are new.

I have an FTP server which some of my friends upload files to, in varying folders. I then copy those files across to my game server using robocopy on task scheduler and use them as needed. However, it's a pain to have to go through each of the folders to see what new files exist. Rather, I'd...

Thanks Michael - in the end I used this: http://www.acecrm.com/pwrcon.htm Thanks again

Fixed it. Added all users in DomainB to the local admins on the NT4 server hosting exchange 5.5 and now the users in DomainB can access their own mailboxes in DomainA. A dirty fix, but it does the job! The syntax I used was: net localgroup administrators "DomainB\domain users" /add
