For some reason, I feel strangely qualified to answer. :-) The big question is, are these going to be NT or 95/98 machines? With NT, here is what I would, hypothetically of course, do: Install the remote command service on each machine. - - Copy rcmdsvc.exe to each NT workstation - - Remotely install the service using INSTSRV - - Start the remote command service using NETSVC - - Copy the NTPRIME software to each machine - - Run RCMD to each machine and do the NTPRIME -INSTALL - - Follow this with RCMD to "net start..." the prime service - - or use NETSVC to start the service remotely You can have variants...for instance, I would pipe a "net view /domain:xxx" to a 4NT batch file that would grab all the machine names and automate all of this, down to where it would append the machine name to the local.ini file that NTPrime uses. If they're Windows 9x machines, you miss all the remote command processing options, so the best bet is with logon scripts of some sort. See if the files already exist on the workstation, and if not, copy them from the server and launch the program, or something like that. <public_service_mode on> Normally, I would have been happy to share my 4NT batch file that does all the NT stuff, but the FBI still has it, which makes this a good place to mention: *be absolutely sure you have *full* permission to run this on each machine*!!!! Don't pull an Aaron! :-) <public_service_mode off> Aaron "I'm not a hacker, but I'm trying to have a sense of humour about it" Blosser ________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.scruz.net/~luke/signup.htm ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Apr 1999 18:20:54 -0500 From: kilfoyle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mersenne: new auto is again I just got another new id (same old name) notification... from primenet .. is there a problem?
