controling remote COM+ and remote debugging

[Peted]

Hello.
Im using vs2008 c# and XP sp3

I wanted to learn how to use c# to control remotely COM+ Applications
under Component services of another desktop on the same network
runnung XPsp3 and do the same thing to a VMWare image accessable over
the same network thats running MS Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 . I want
to be able to stop and start remotely tthe COM+ services.

Can anyone get me started on this, i have not been able to find any
intro articles on the net. Can anyone point me in the right direction.


In addition if anyone has a step by step guide on remote debugging
with c# vs2008 on a dev machine with the source, and the client exe
running on vmware image, it would be appreciated.


thanks for any help

According to what was taught in the MOC course 2557 a few years ago,
there are no managed classes in the .Net library to manage the COM+ Catalog,
and it has to be done by means of the COMAdmin.COMAdminCatalog object
through COM Interop. At least this was the case at that time; new libraries
may have been added since.
