How to write a remote server management software?

Abby

I'd like to know where to find information on how to write a remote
server management software. I just want to be able to power
on/off/reset servers within the same LAN. Is Visual Basic capable of
doing this kind of program ? Thank you so much.

this article http://www.jaredshelp.com/article65.html gives you example
source code to shutdown windows from VB using the API.

the other aspect would be the Client/Server apps that communicate. I advise
you look into the Winsock library. VB has a 'Winsock' control too.
Have an app running on the server(s), listening for a signal from you client
machine. when received start the shutdown procedure as in the article.

don't know any specific resources but this should get you going.
