F@H: Remote configuration

[MechEng]

Any one know how I can change the settings for a CLI client remotely (LAN) ???

I guess I need to change both the "client.cfg" and the registry settings, but I would like to do it without using something like "Remote Desktop Connection"... BTW: I'm admin on the PC's.

Is my question somehow unclear ??? (English is not my native language, so... sometimes it kind of misses)

or is it beacuse I haven't found it allready answered somewhere around here, or... is it not possible ? 😕

EDIT:
OR, am I just being impatient... 😱

I believe if someone knew the answer, they would respond. Maybe the person with the answer hasn't seen this yet, or there is no answer. There are various software that allows you to remotely control a computer, but you have to use RDC AFAIK.

Windows I assume ? If you are admin use the c$ share to edit the client.cfg. To edit the registry open regedit locally and do file->connect network registry. If you are running a service you'll need to restart the service of course, to do so remotely open computer management locally, right click computer management select connect to another computer

This should work in your network as long as you have admin on the machines.

Try \\192.168.1.1\C$ Where 192.168.1.1 is substituted for the IP of the remote computer.

Depending on how the network is set up, you should also be able to use the NetBios name in place of the IP, ex: \\computer1\c$

IIRC, the CLI does not use the registry.

The GUI does.

Which is why you only need to use the -local flag if the GUI has previously been installed.
