Server Connections - Update NT Info - VB Comp.

[Benny]

I'm working on a web application using ASP/VB Script. I will be creating and calling some Visual Basic components from the Application that will be doing the following:

A) Update Registry Entries on several different servers
B) Update Database Tables
C) Update NT Scheduled Tasks and NT Services

I need to create the VB class module components that will do the processing of these tasks but on different servers and not just the server which is running the application.
This application must connect to each server and perform all the above updates. My questions are:

1) How to connect to other servers in order to update their registry, etc...? I assume I can connect to the databases on all the servers thru ADO/ODBC - but I also just need a connection to the server (not the database) so the program can perform the other updates.

2) Is there a way to programatically update information on each server for the servers NT Scheduled tasks and NT Services (ie) id/password? I'm trying to get a VB
component to do this.

Any idea's or suggestions that would point me in the right direction on how to accomplish any of the items, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Benny

You would have to have admin rights and be logged on each server.
