A New Management Tools for Remote-Access Through Lan (P2P) Using WMI Technology

Abstract

In this paper, we present a new management system permitting to explore remotely, in real time, a computer connected to a local network or Peer to Peer (P2P) Network, from a remote station, without that the user of this computer realizes this exploration. The strength of this system, it requires no previous installation on stations to explore. The requirement is only to have an account for these stations. The exploration happens in a different session, even though the same account is opened on this station. We will show how to have access operating system information, services, and processes running on local remote machine as well as on a remote machine on the network, provided administration rights to them. Also we will show how to start and stop services, terminate processes, and create new processes from WMI. The strength of this system is to permit the possible utilization remotely, through a local network or P2P Network, of a remote computer as if one was there. WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) is a tool respecting the standard of the administration's domain, a system that permits to get information systems of the following machine. It can also allow managing a machine while modifying directly the well stocked parameters.
