Best Connection Method?
-
Creating a tool that will query the wmiClass of "client" PCs. I do not want to have any software installed on the client side, all clients are behind the same router, so I don't have any concerns there. I'm looking for the best way to connect to aprox 100 PCs. -- the intended operation would be: user clicks button, button event polls pcs, listener client logs all replies, using list of replies poll each pc for all required info (i'd like to just udp the clients with the wmi login info, and query so that it just replies with the info, but not sure yet if that is possible or even a safe move) looking for any good ideas or previous attempts that were sucessful in doing this. I've considered using UDP to conduct an initial poll of the PCs, then use the returned name of the pc to conduct the TCP request of wmi. I've also considered using a static list of IPs, but dont like that idea, so maybe a semi-static ip list? and lastly i've considered finding a way to intergrate with active directory to return a list of pcs, which is fine, as long as we don't have any non-registered clients again, just looking for any thoughts of a good way to do this...and of course if you know of any refrence material that is open for use that would be much appreciated as well. string Beautiful; Beautiful = "ignorant"; label1.Text = "The world is full of " + Beautiful +" people."; Why is common sense such an un-common comodity?
