Who is the best?

[jelsner]

If anyone could tell me how I can send a program from my machine to run on another machine without them doing anything. Even just popping up a Hello World message on another computer from mine would be great. If you know how to do this I would say your the best programmer.

Good Luck.

What kind of a network are you on? I have a utility that will allow me to remotely run programs on an NT network (I have to have log on priveledges on the remote computer). It won't display graphics to the locally loggen on user's desktop/winstation though.

I am on NT and Novell. Could i get a copy of this utility? Do you have source code?

Thanks. I am on a Novell Network now so that doesn't work. It is sort of what I'm looking for though. I don't know if that utility runs the program locally or remotely though. Thanks anyways.

I don't want to have to load a program on both computers. I just want to be able to run an executable on a remote machine.

You can only load a program on the other machine if there's a program there waiting for a request. AFAIK the OS doesn't honour or even understand remote requests like this unless you're using Terminal Services.

There is some way to do it. My friend knows someone that did it. He can sit on his machine and send his exe out to remote machines and run them there.

[parksie]

In that case, ask your friend to ask the someone

As a sidenote - Win 2000 Terminal Server does just what you want. It's part of Win 2000 pro.

Next comment - Mark Russinovich at www.sysinternals.com has free code that will do what you want.

However, Parksie has pretty much got it right, there has to be something on the receiving end of things to create process context so the code can run.
