I have an issue that I would like an easy solution too and am hoping some of you folks can help me come up with one.
OK, I have a remotely hosted 2003 Server that I sell resources to. I need to be able to give some clients the ability to restart some applications that they use that are installed as services. So, I need to be able to allow some people to start/stop certain Windows services remotely. I am debating how to do this whether it be thru a local app to give them or thru the web. I am hesitant to do the web because of having to install a web server on taht box, but it is an option.
I have tried some vbs and some utility exe's via commandline, but they have failed to work. I am guessing that the server vendor is blocking the port or there is too much of a delay in the RPC connection.
So, does anyone have any good ideas? I also have a Linux server running apache that I could introduce into the picture if necessary.
