hello,
I'd like to check if a remote computer on local network is running. I
found some vbscript/javascript examples that used WMI to look for the
presence of a particular process on the remote machine. these scripts
were run locally via WSH. I adapted this solution to look for the
presence of a process named "System" on the remote computer, and it
worked...
I am a beginner to WMI and I realize this is neither very elegant nor
universal solution. My question is: is there a way to do it better? If
so, I would greatly appreciate any examples, comments etc.
My second question is related to the above: is it possible to change the
"presentation layer" from WSH-popup window to, for example, html page
that would display a table with the names of remote machines along with
their status (running/not running), and refreshing itself automatically?
thanks,
geos
ps. If this is not the right group to ask this sort of questions I would
appreciate redirections to the more appropriate ones.
