VB.NET app - enumerating active network computers

1 New Member
Please help

I am new to VB and only very rarely use it to create useful tools.

i am trying to write an app that needs to build a list of computer names into an array for every machine currently on on my network. i do not want to do a directory lookup as this brings up machines curretly off as well. i want the VB equivalent if possible of doing a Net View in dos.

Would anyone be able to help - please.......?

Many thanks

Steve

You will probably have to do a NET VIEW and capture the results to proccess them in your program.

Or you could look up the SMB querries message format and try and send out the call yourself, but that seems a bit harder.

We have just installed a SQL Server 2000 (SP 3A) onto a computer that has Windows-2003 Server on it. Now, we cannot get access to that database server from other computers. Seem like this may be an issue with Active Directory. Our network consists of Windows-2000 Servers (SP 4) and Windows-2000 workstations and Windows-XP workstations. We also have SQL Server 2000 (SP2) in three Windows-2000 servers. All work fine. Recently, we get a...

I have a simple jacascript that randomizes the background of the top frame of my webpage http://www.duke.edu/~efn.

This problem didn't used to occur, and it doesn't happen on Firefox. Is there some way I can alter the script of the top frame http://www.duke.edu/~efn/top.html to prevent this from happening?...

In this brief tutorial I'll describe how you retrieve information from an Active Directory through the OLE-DB extension. While it is possible to use the LDAP extension to achieve the same goal, as you will see using Microsoft's OLE-DB provider is much easier. You will need to download and install the OLE-DB extension. Here's the location once again: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=171247&package_id=198554. See my...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
