Managing computers remotely via website

I would like to be able to manage my computers at school via
a website. I have an application using VB scripts that a co-worker
wrote, but we'd like to move it to running from web pages. How do I
run such scripts on remote computers from a webpage? We are still
in planning stages, but anticipate using either a MySQL or Access
database to store information and also using ASP pages. Our
webmaster doesn't like PHP for some reason, thinks it created
errors on the server and so turned it off. Are there useful
websites with this information already (haven't found any yet
myself) or can I get some help here? If I am unclear about anything
I wrote, I'd be happy to clarify.
Thanks.

Generally browser security will disallow certial scripts to
run as they can
provide too open a hole for hackers to run maleous files. If
you wish to
control the machines remotely then I would look at dedicated
applications
such as Remote Connections.

  • SQL 2012 Management Studio Remote Servers Service Status Slow/Stops Working

    This is a huge annoyance.  I manage about 50 SQL instances of SQL Server versions 2005-2012 and I noticed that it takes 1-2 seconds to load the service status (green arrow) on each individual server.  If you then connect to a server, you have to
    wait for all the statuses to be loaded first in the Registered Servers list before it loads the statuses for servers in the Object Explorer.  This happens whether the servers are registered in Local Server Groups or Central Management Servers, and whether
    I have access to all servers (as windows local administrator and sa), or not.  It also happens regardless of whether I run as Administrator or normally on my instance of SSMS (which is SQL 2012 Development on Windows Server 2008 R2).
    These servers are also registered in alphabetical order by group and server name, which means that if I have "DEV" groups, they will be registered before "PROD", unless I rename accordingly.  It sometimes takes a few minutes, if
    I'm lucky, to get a server I connect to to load, which means I can't use SSMS to really manage any remote servers and start/stop/pause/resume/restart services.
    Worse, sometimes due to a server becoming unavailable (due to updates/patches/failovers), SSMS is unable to load the service statuses anymore for any new server connections made to object explorer, resulting in the loss of ability to view/change service statuses. 
    In this case, there is no way to recover (Refresh of Central Management Servers does nothing), except to close SSMS and open it again, and then wait again for all the statuses to load.
    I have lived with this since first installing SQL, and regardless of the Windows Updates and SQL patches applied, the problem has never gone away.  This also happens if I load SSMS in Windows Server 2012.  Its starting to become a huge issue now
    that I have to patch several servers each month.
    I have already checked WMI permissions, GPO, firewall, etc. as per all the suggestion on the internet, including this post
    http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic825246-146-1.aspx.  None of these suggestions have made a difference, as my real problem is one of connectivity and performance, and
    not security, which most of these suggestions apply to.  Of note, all servers are in the same domain, firewall is disabled across the board, correct permissions for local administrators exist for remote registry settings, WMI, GPO, etc, and all service
    accounts and windows accounts that are used are local admins and sysadmins.
    My work-around has been to delete the Central Management Server and any local server group registered servers, close and re-launch SSMS, and then connect to a server I'm interested in via Object Explorer.  Otherwise, close and re-launch will take forever. 
    My other alternative is to RDP into the remote server and manage services via SQL Configuration Manager locally.
    If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, or make it go faster, I'd really appreciate it.
    Diane

    Hi Satish,
    Thanks for taking the time to reply.  Yes, I actually am already using work-arounds (i.e. methods other than SSMS) to accomplish my tasks.  My issue is that this is supposed to be working and provide a nice GUI so that you can easily visualize
    any issues, and address them directly, without having to hodge-podge access via scripts or 3rd-Party tools.
    Since no one else has any comments, I guess there are no plans to make remote server administration work with SSMS properly then, and that kludge methods are the only ones being advocated.

  • What best way to turn on all computers remotely using sccm 2012 sp 1

    what best way to turn on all computers remotely using sccm  2012
    and what the difference  between wake on lan and out of band service point role

    Hey!!! I am a 1E engineer and MVP... we started the power management movement with our very first software product, created around 12 or so years ago, called 1E WakeUp. The complete solution which manages power on (integrated with SCCM, or stand alone if
    you are not an SCCM shop) and power off (under a tightly controlled process) is called
    NightWatchman
    Here is a
    recent blog post I authored that was the last in a series documenting the entire wake-up process including how it integrates with SCCM or stood up standalone. It contains links to those earlier posts that explain our entire technology, so you will likely
    want to read all of them in order for a full understanding of our technology. It works incredibly well, is the most mature solution in the industry, and is extremely simple to install with minimal resources.
    If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me privately

  • Starting Weblogic Server Cluster remotely via VPN

    We have a site-to-site VPN setup from our office to our ISP so we can
              control our system remotely. We can stop our Weblogic servers (in a
              cluster) remotely via the VPN no problem via the "stopweblogic.cmd" command
              where we just change the IP address of our remote server. We're having
              trouble starting them through the WebLogic console applet. We can bring the
              applet up & running, but no luck starting them.
              Is there another way to start your weblogic servers (besides using something
              like PC Anywhere).
              Or is there any documentation that could point to an answer here?
              Any suggestions?

    1. "myserver" is the name of the server. It doesn't want the name of the
    machine the server is on.
    2. It is possible that something is wrong in the license file. I've made a
    typo when changing the license on my server that prevented weblogic from
    starting.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I connect Keynote Remote via Blue Tooth NOT a WiFi network

    Being a novice, at best, "What are the "steps" to connect Keynote Remote, via BlueTooth  MacBook Pro and I-Pad

    Thank you for the reply.
    ctrl B makes the top bar (File. Edit. View. Controls. Store. Help.) appear and disappear.
    ctrl S makes a side bar appear on the left side of iTunes. It shows the library which has Music. Movies. TV Shows. Apps. Playlists. Ect.
    When I did the steps you suggested, my iPhone did not show up in that list.
    I checked my firewall settings again, and they seem to be okay. My firewall is the only thing that I am not 100% sure of. If I go to Control Pannel>System and Security>Windows Firewall>Allow an app through Windows Firewall. It shows that iTunes is allowed. I'm not sure if something else might need to be allowed as well though. I have a few Remote options that are not allowed such as, Remote Event Log Management, Remote Scheduled Tasks Management, Remote Shutdown, Remote Volume Management, and Routing and Remote Access. I'm not sure if any of these need to be allowed or not, or if they are even affiliated with iTunes.

  • Managing Computers with 10.5 Server, but NOT managing Local accounts?

    I'll try my best to be clear here - I'm new to 10.5 Server and a functioning Open Directory environment! (formerly used 10.3 Server and never had the OD working).
    Environment:
    School (K-8), with old iMac G3's (10.3.9), eMacs (10.4.11) and a smattering of Mini's and iMacs (10.5.x).
    Server:
    10.5 Server, OpenDirectory and DNS appear to be working perfectly.
    User Accounts:
    Staff members have accounts for logging into sharepoints.
    No one (yet!) has server based home directories except a couple for testing.
    On each computer there is a "staff" account and a "student" account.
    These are LOCAL accounts, and do NOT have same-named accounts on the Server.
    I have bound client computers to the Server by OpenDirector
    dsconfigldap -v -f -a servername.domain.org -n configname -u diradmin -p adminpass
    Now comes the trouble;
    I have added the computers to the Workgroup Manager computers list.
    I have applied computer preference settings for the Energy Saver preferences ONLY. THey appear to have worked (managed computers slept/shut-down/started up according to the managed preference).
    NOW comes the real problem;
    The "staff" account on the managed computers is denying access to most applications on the computer!
    Note: this "Staff" account is local ONLY, and is NOT a server-hosted account.
    I have NOT tried to manage the computer preferences for applications on these computers.
    I can resolve the problem by unbinding the computer from the OD Server - but I'd prefer not to do that. I just got them all bound! And, it screws up my migration plan TOWARDS server-hosted home directories.
    I have tried managing application prefs for a COMPUTER, only to have both the STaff and Student account lose ALL of their local-only application managment settings (all of a sudden, Students can open terminal, grading programs, etc).
    I am obviously missing something!
    At this point, I'd like to back up... to NOT having my Server interfereing with the local accounts until I'm further along mapping out my migration from local-only accounts with file sharing access to Server hosted accounts and server managed preferences.
    (I will also admit I'm a bit confused about when to manage USER preferences, vs when to use managed COMPUTER preferences.).
    Tips appreciated!

    Your last question - using managed user vs. computer preferences got my attention. Mostly, I use Group managed preferences. I do use computer preferences for a laptop cart, other than that I use group preferences. Perhaps your situation calls for managing users, but using group preferences allows me to change the settings for a bunch of people all at once rather than changing settings for each user.
    In any event, check all the managed preferences for your computer level settings. And since you're using a 10.5 server, you have to check the settings for clients that are running 10.4 and earlier as well as the settings for 10.5 and later clients, as they are different.
    At the user level, if you have an OD account and a local account with the same name, the local account will determine what the user can do - I honestly don't know if managed computer prefs will override local settings, but you should look into it. This could be your problem.
    At the very least, you should avoid "testing" with systems that folks are using if you want to avoid the frustration that you are now encountering (speaking from experience i.e. similar mistakes, not preaching).

  • How to manage large Remote Sensing image in oracle

    I want to manage many Remote Sensing images in Oracle database. Which model is more reasonable? Please all my friends give me your suggestions.

    This MyApp application (Application 100) was created by the HR Oracle account.
    I could use
    http://127.0.0.1:8080/htmldb/f?p=100
    to run this application by logging in as hr/hr .
    For the above URL, if I logged in as anotherOracleAccount/password, I got the 'Invalid Login Credentials' message.
    As you said, I could use
    http://127.0.0.1:8080/htmldb/f?p=4550
    to get into HTML DB of the Oracle XE environment by logging in as anotherOracleAccount/password.
    Since MyApp is using the HR-owned 'employees' table, should we grant some privileges on hr.employees to anotherOracleAccount?
    I tried this, I still got the 'Invalid Login Credentials' message.

  • Not allow simultaneous login on managed computers using profile mangaer

    Does any one knows how to not allow simultaneous login on managed computers using Profile Manager instead of Workgroup Manager?
    Thanks in advanced

    Hi Folks
    First - thanks for your help.
    Closing this out - here is what I learned:
    1) Needed to ensure my server was Kerberised and that Kerebos was running correctly
    2) Local users have precedence over network so I need to ensure I don't use the same short name. While using the "id" command you may be able to see the network user ID, the local of the same name appears to take precedence.
    3) Using the "kinit" command useful for confirming Kerebos is working correctly
    4) Home directories created - had already done this but what finally got this working was stopping and restarting AFP Service.
    So was able to successfully login to Mac Client using OD username and password - it mounted the network home share just fine on the client, loaded preferences etc.
    Now on to create network users with Mobile Accounts for my laptop users - wish me luck

  • SAP Management Console - Remote System Management

    When I fire up my SAP Management Console (mmc plugin), I can see my locally installed instance for starting and stopping.  Can I use the plugin to manage a remote machine?
    Thanks!

    This machine isn't running R/3, it is only running the Java application server.  There is no System > Status which I can find.
    When I open the SAPMMC on my local machine, it has the tree:
        Console Root
         SAP Systems
          J2E
           bknitter-dt
           bknitter-dt 1
           bknitter-dt 0
    I'm assuming in my case, if someone were to manage this remotely, they would simply put in "bknitter-dt 00" and "bknitter-dt 01" ??
    Thanks for the confirmation!

  • Can't send cntrl-alt-delete to start PC remotely via Mac

    I am using Symantec PC Anywhere software and even when I try the Mac equivalent of cntl-alt-delete the PC I am trying to connect to doesn't recognize the command. (Once I am in, the connection works fine). Any suggestions? Is there a better program out there to connect to a PC remotely via Mac?

    I am using Symantec PC Anywhere software
    Are you running Windows on the Mac (via Boot Camp, or Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion) or is pcAnywhere CrossPlatform Remote (or something similar) used under Mac OS X?
    the Mac equivalent of cntl-alt-delete
    Just guessing here (I do not know whether the command in question will work at all when used via said remote control program). Would it be correct to assume that you have noticed the difference between the delete keys on a PC and a Mac (the delete key on a Mac is the same as backspace on a PC). You may want to have a look at this article (and perhaps this one).
    Is there a better program out there to connect to a PC remotely via Mac?
    When working under Mac OS X, could something like this (or maybe one of the programs here) possibly be of interest?

  • Setting default home page for managed computers

    We are currently running Mac OS X Leopard Server, which manages 22 other machines in a school environment.
    We also have a wiki/blog/webmail page setup at the address artroom.local and we want this to be the homepage on every managed machine in the room.
    How do we do this - we have looked everywhere in Server Admin and Workgroup Manager to find this, as well as trying to change the homepage on the root account of each individual machine to no avail.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Could you tell me the command to distribute it to all our managed computers from terminal?

  • How can I schedule a restart to SCCM managed computers at a certain time?

    Hi all;
    I've been trying to schedule a restart to SCCM 2012R2 managed computers at a certain time with no luck.
    Here is what I did:
    Created a new package called “ScheduledReboot”
    Standard Program without Source Packages
    I named mine simply “ScheduledReboot”. Set Start In to
    c:\windows\system32, and set After Running to Program restarts computer.
    My command line is shutdown.exe -r -t 300 -c “Initiating scheduled reboot for system maintenance. You have 5 minutes to save your work before mandatory forced reboot.” This gives a reboot with 5 minutes of lead-time, and displays the
    message in quotes to any users who may still be logged in.
    Created an advertisement with a mandatory advertisement a little bit into the Maintenance Window. I advertise this to a test collection with 1 PC. Set it to recur every 1 day at 2AM. Changed the Program Run Behavior of the advertisement
    to Always Rerun Program.
    However; I get an error and noting happens. I did deploy several Packages to the same PC such as WinZip and other stuff.
    Please advise.
    Thank you.
