SMS: Version 2.0 Remote Control Command Line Options

ID: Q201793

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Systems Management Server version 2.0

SUMMARY

In Systems Management Server version 2.0, you can start a remote control session through command line options similar to those you used in Systems Management Server version 1.2.

remote.exe: \sms\bin\i386\ directory
remote.exe address-type name [/SMS:Server=Site Server Name]

where address-type is as follows:

Value Equals

1 Novell

2 TCP/IP

3 NetBIOS

For example

Remote.exe 2 SMSCLIENT Remote.exe 0 Resource-ID [/SMS:Server=Site Server Name]

where Resource-ID is the SMS database unique ID (not the GUID) pointing to the resource.

If you run Remote.exe with no arguments, it displays a dialog box in which you can type the name or address to use.

An important caveat to all this is, the application still accesses the SMS database and checks that the name and address you entered are of a known resource. It also checks that the collection (or collections) to which the resource belongs allows you to remote control it. (The program bases the decision on the security permissions set on that collection.) You cannot use Remote.exe to run remote control entirely independently without System Management Server.
