Java N00B - Remote Assistance Invitations

**victimist** · 10-23-2008, 01:16 AM

Hi

Today i researched Windows Remote Assistance as i happen to use this at the place i work. My idea was to try use a vb wmi script invoke a remote invation back to myself instead of me offering assistance, my reason is to proove to a collegue that its possible to do. :cool: I found the following msdn article ms811079 "Offering Remote Assistance", which happens to be pretty much what i had in mind except it only covers C and Java. They have a example script towards the centre of the page, which Ill admit works a treat. The only problem is im not getting anywhere whiles trying to add new functions. I've tried to get some parameters to write out to a file located in a share, but this turned out harder than i imagined. :eek: Any chances someone could help me please? In the example, im trying to get oSessionObj.UserName and RemConnectionParms written to a file. The written file (Path = "\\server\share\" + oSessionObj.UserName + ".msrcincident") needs only the following line written to it (starting after the "[" ending before the "]")
[<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Unicode" ?><UPLOADINFO TYPE="Escalated"><UPLOADDATA USERNAME=" + oSessionObj.UserName + " RCTICKET=" + RemConnectionParms + " RCTICKETENCRYPTED="0" DtStart="1224696669" DtLength="1800" PassStub="" L="0" /></UPLOADINFO>]. Once the file is written and is closed is there any way of excuting it? Perhaps a shell command?

:confused: PLEASE HELP :confused:

PS - I work with VB & VBA all day so my java knowledge is lackin a tad.

Thanks

I found the article you described here: Offering Remote Assistance and I searched it, but nowhere could I find the term "Java" even on doing a search of the page. Sure it mentions JScript, but this is not the least bit related to Java.

So I guess my main question is this: how does this relate at all to Java? Am I missing something basic here?

Thanks for getting back to me :D

:confused: Java / JScript Are they different? :(

Perhaps i've poseted this in the wrong place ... :o

The link you posted is the link i was referring to - Try search for "Offer Remote Assistance Sample JScript" This is the example i was referring to.

Please advise whether i have posted this in the wrong place? Terribly sorry if i have, i was just looking for a place that may have been able to help. If this is the wrong forum, could you please recommend another forum to use?

Or could you still try help me to get it to write a file?

Yup, this is the wrong place. JScript is not Java. JavaScript is not Java. The similarity of names is unfortunate and misleading.

Maybe you could try a MSDN forum?
