Summary:
You can administer a server from a remote location with a LAN Manager
version 2.0 or 2.1 based network. To do this, you must first perform
the following commands on the machine you want to remotely administer:
net share ipc$
net share admin$
You can put these commands in the STARTUP.CMD file so they are
executed at each reboot.
If your LAN Manager server is running user-level security, you do not
need to explictly share these services, but you do need to be a user
with both remote admin priviledges and access to the server's named
pipes (IPC$).
After ensuring that this is done, you can remotely administer the
server using the following command:
net admin \\servername
This will bring up a full-screen interface with which to administer
the server. This is the same interface you have when you enter "net
admin" to administer the local machine.
The following command can be used to start a service:
net admin \\servername /command net start sqlserver
You can also start SQL Server directly from the LAN Manager 2.1
full-screen administrator facility, or from SQL Server's utilities
SAF or SQL Administrator for Windows.
Note that this can even be done over dialin lines using
LAN Manager 2.1's Remote Access Services (RAS).
