I am attempting to write a VB program for remote execution and am wondering if it will even work before I get too deep into it.
The company I work for does a lot of acquisitions requiring a lot of work on local PCs. Things such as gathering information about the PC, removing software, renaming the PC etc. I currently have the entire process scripted using VB script and about 10 different scripts. each script is run on the PC being worked on from a remote share on a server and data is written back to the server. Everything is fine however, it is difficult to turn scripts over to in experienced people and ask them to run them... so I would like to create a VB app (I have one built that will do most of the things I need to Essentially what I have done is create an application that has turned each of the scripts into a button on a tool bar and results are written to a database and also show in a form as appropriate) but I would like to be able to install the application on a server and have the users go to the server share from their local PC and run the program executing each button as needed without installing the program locally and it will gather information, perform actions etc about their local PC. When I try to run the build I have remotely it will not even run.
What I need to know is can what I described even be done and if so what do I need to change to make it so?
