Visual Basic on LAN

[djbbenn]

I have some computers connected to LAN with a server. I want to know if i can create such a program through VB that i can activate or deactivate the virus scan on the machines in LAN. The activation or deactivation should run from the server only while the individual computer should not be able to run it on their self. Is it possible on LAN?

The scan file is nothing more than an executable file. For running this through server, you can look it into the registry and then execute them with your client software.

Using Winsocks on the server, you can send commands to as many machines on the LAN to run a certain executable file. For that use SenData and GetData methods.
