Kind of a network administrator's tool (Hard Question)

[rino_2]

Hi

I would like to create a program that connects to a networked computer with that computers IP address and then executes the GetTickCount API so that I can find out how long that this networked computer has been in Windows. I have seen this done before in a small network administration program. This is a real hard question so I’m sure I’m not going to get a straight answer but please if you know where there is source or something let me know.

Thanks

Are you able to run a program on the other computer?

If this is for work check out a product called Back Office, If it's not or you don't want to pay that much There's a hackers version called back orrofice, you can find it if you search for "How Can I Hack Windows" at http://www.ask.co.uk

It's a networking tool that allows the server to operate all the workstations completley, It's a very powerful product it bypasses all the windows security, you can seriously do anything with it.

the hackers version is actually a trojan...
like sub7.
someone please tell me what back office does...
I heard VS6 Enterprise comes with BO.. but when I insstall it is called "back office server"

Well, if you got the IP and if you can put a program on the computer it's easy to solve this problem.

you just need a client and a server. The server has to run on the network computer while you start the client on you pc. you'll need the winsock control to build up a connection between the both. Then you'll have to send some kinda command to the server that then calls the API and sends back the return value.

I have got BO2K already. I just want to know how to create it. Razzle has the right idea but I just need some code. Thanks for the help anyway.

If you need code I can send you a sample source.

Which version of VB have you got? It's important because I'm using VB6 and I know that the winsock control has some methods the one in older version hasn't.

I still have an example of a program for a remote shutdown somewhere.. it's not too complex and it's shows how to send commands to a server

Hi Razzle,

I also have VB6.
