Remote control without NWAdmin
Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer
Posted: 18 Oct 2000
A:
We found a cool batch file submitted to the Support Forums by Rodney Burton. Here's what he said:
@echo off \\smp\sys\public\zenworks\wviewnt -w"%1.Workstations.SMF" -n"Sparks" -c"Remote Control"
Usage: RemoteControl.bat WORKSTATIONNAME
"You'll have to edit your server name, tree name, and workstation context. Change Remote Control to Remote View if you just want to view, or make two batch files. I put mine in my Public directory and search drive so I can just go Start->Run."
Another reader vouched for Rodney's solution. He said:
"That batch file suggestion deserves the highest praise. I added a second parameter at the end (-c"%2") so that I can add the word 'chat' to the end of the command line and suddenly had the best tool of my job."
Q:
Is there a way to remote control a workstation without executing the nwadmn32 file?
