Executing local processes remotely

[Chris Jones]

Hello Everyone,

just a quick question, is it possible to execute local processes on lets say
a work/home pc, remotely using a typical RDP client?

If so, would the pc running for example Win ME require any specialist
software to enable this?

Any help would be appreciated.

If I'm understanding your question correctly, yes.

Using the virtual channel technology, you can start up a process in the
local machine from within a terminal server session.

The bad news is there's nothing out-of-the-box. You need to write client
side and server side code.

Here's the link to the appropriate parts of the terminal server API on
microsoft if you want to have a closer look. The link is for Windows CE, but
I can tell you first hand the API is consistent across all the current
windows versions.
