Network Client Registry Question
-
I want to allow networked PCs access to my server application. It has various parts and I want to tell the clients PCs where the address of the parts sit (a network address of the server folders). I can do it using a small install program run on each PC individually that inserts the server address of the files in the client PC registry but, is there a elegant way of letting the client PC use a remote program and access the server registry or the files local to the server. Basically, from the client PC, if I run a program on the server can I retrieve data from the server registry rather than the local client registry. Any thoughts? Cheers ;) u6ik
