All, I am a relative new comer to this list. I have used the win32 ppm modules to perform local (on my own machine) calls and they work fine.
I need to use my Perl scripts to : 1. connect to a remote PC (Windows - but -- could be NT,XP,ME maybe 95/98 - a dying breed in our shop) 2. determine what OS is running NT (Srv or Wks), W2K (wks, server) W2K TSE (maybe some thin clients also) I will run this script as domain admin, so that I will have sufficient authority. At the present time this is all that I want the script to do. I know that there are other tools that can perform the same actions, such as gettype.exe and srvinfo.exe. However, these tools do not have network timeouts in them and seem to hang while waiting on a network resource - far too frequently. I want to use any network timeouts available in the win32 modules. Can anyone suggest a module to use to get the above, I know the reg key that I want to read but maybe there is a better way ?
