Evening, I'm looking for a webmin style app for a windows xp machine acting as a server (yes, lets get the windows/linux and 2k/xp/2k3 thing out of the way now)

anyways, does anyone know if there's anything like that about, i ideally need basic controls, the ability to reboot the machine, stop/start a few apps and services.


Cheers.

i personally just use the web client for remote desktop - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloa.../rdwebconn.mspx

this might help if you're using/can install IIS - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...;en-us;324282#4

how much control does that give?

ideally i only want dead basics available from the web, for obvious reasons

using psexec you can get a remote command prompt - http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBI/tip4100/rh4141.htm

eg psexec \\server cmd

once in the command prompt is your friend - examples:

reboot machine - shutdown -r
start services - net start "Internet Infomation Services"
stops services - net stop "Telnet"
list processes - tasklist
kill processes using PID (3-4 digit number in tasklist) - taskkill /pid 1234
kill process using exe name - taskkill /IM notepad.exe

cheers, looks like that might do the job nicely for higher end users.
