running a .exe file from a server, question.

Hi all.

This is a quiestion regarding NetOp, and command lines.

Can someone help me please.

I need to be able to run a .exe file on our web server, to kick off the netop application on the users machine (pre installed) to connect to another server.

I have found that the following path works if you 'run' it locally on the server:

Code:

"c:\Program Files\Danware Data\NetOp Remote Control\GUEST\NGstw32.exe" /H:192.141.131.10

The servers internal LAN IP is 192.141.0.110.

Any ideas please, do I need to share the folders relevent to the application on the local server, then

Code:

\\192.141.0.110\]"c:\Program Files\Danware Data\NetOp Remote Control\GUEST\NGstw32.exe" /H:192.141.131.10

Thanks for any help!

Jon

I would imagine so if you are accessing it from a remote source.

By default the root of the C: is shared (but only with access to administrators). It's share name is however c$ (all share ending $ are invisible) so the path would be "\\192.141.0.110\c$\Program Files\Danware Data\NetOp Remote Control\GUEST\NGstw32.exe".

However the above would only work logged on as an administrator, so what you need to do is share the directory with netop in (giving everyone read and exeecute permission). The path will be "\\servername\sharename\filestructure there after".

I'm guessing you work in a school, get over to edugeek.net

EDIT: Erm, just had a look at what you're trying to do, you relise it might well not work since by the sound of it NetOp isn't actualy installed on the workstations.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I dont work in a school, its just a part of an IT intranet project ive been tasked with. ITs a ball ache!

The work stations do have netop clients installed on them, so that should be okay. I will go ahead with your suggestion and let you know how I get on.

Thanks again.
