WCF / ASMX :: Can Start Windows Services Remotely Using Webservice
Feb 10, 2011
how to start or stop the windows services of a remote system.
now what i need to know is, is there any possibility such that the windows services can be start or stop by using webservices.
suppose i have created a webservice in remote system which will keep on monitering the status of windows services present in that machine. now i will create a client service which will sends the service(windows service) name and action to be performed(that is starting or stopping the service).so is it possible to do in such a manner.
I created a page for display my own windows services installed in the system. That page displays the service display name and status in the grid view and also showed one button to start ot stop the service according to the statusAll working nicely. But when i click start button i got the error as follows{"Cannot open Service1 service on computer '.'."}and the inner exception is "{"Access is denied"} .
I need to build a proxy (maybe a bad description) that receives an XML file from a 3rd party, saves it, sends it on to another 3rd party, gets the response back and passes that back to the original 3rd party. Let's call that entire process a "unit".Should I use a webservice? A Generic Handler? Something else?
I might have to do 20 "units" per second, but I know that each "unit" may span 30 seconds to a minute each, so really, I mean that I need to be able to have 1200 of these "units" running at the same time, in all varying stages of the process that I described above.As far as the file saving goes, I eventually want to put this into a database, but I would imagine that writing the file is quicker than actually saving the data into a database, so I'll just have another process that isn't nearly as time critical as this grab the files and insert them into the DB at its own convenience.
The "app" will only consist of 1 page and it will be running under SSL. This will likely be the only thing on this server at any given time to ensure that this little process is not a bottleneck.What in .Net would be a good (fast and scalable) way to go about this? I don't have any effective limit on what I would need as far as hardware goes -- so I can get a screaming machine if it would guarantee no bottlenecks.
How to Find All the Web Services and Windows Services Running on a Server in ASP.Net. I have the server details with me and want to find all the Web services running on it.
I am designing a website (ASP.NET in VB) and I'd like it to have the following features: to generate a random string to be used as a password. This bit I should be able to manage, the bit I don't have a clue on is how I can pass this to a Windows machine (on a workgroup not AD) to change a user's account password.
I have datatable consist of 20 records and i want to bulk insert into sqlserver through the asmx webservice. Can anybody guide to me or provide Sample BusinessLogic and webservice code.
I got a ASP.Net webforms app which is using Forms authentication. It needs to authenticate against a webservice which uses windows authentication (+ impersonation).
I've tried (amongst other things) to supply credentials by using: service.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(myUserName, thePassword, theDomain)
The problem is that I get 401 from the webservice no matter what I try.
Im doing this project where i need to download files through a webservice (images, videos). The download MUST go through an existing webservice. The existing webservice was made when there were no need to upload and download files but the project has changed and now we need to do It through a webservice.Right now I have implemented the download as a method that returns a byte[], I open a streamreader and resds the entire file into a byte[] and returns it to my method. This is working file on small files <~1Mb, above it takes too long time. I want to show some progress (e.g. when the user downlaods a 20Mb video) which i cannot do right now. And i want to make it download much faster (is a strategy to use multithreading and several threads that downloads a part of the file?). It is within a WPF application i need to do this.
I have an ASP .NET 2.0 (4.0 is an option) page that I've embedded the Windows Media Player to using OBJECT tags.
The player is connecting to a Windows Media Services publishing point on the Web server. This is on a 2008 server.
Everything works great, see it here: [URL]
If I understand correctly, the information the player is showing in its status bar comes from the ID3 tags of the current track. Continuing on this line of thought, the ID3 information must be coming to the player from the media server. Correct?
What I want to do is collect and use the information about the track that's current being played. I'd like to be able to create a custom display for the current track information. I'd also like to put a custom value in the track information to look up additional information about the artist/track from a database.
from where to start learning WebServices. I do not know anything about it, i searched internet but no useful sites were found. I am unable to understand almost all the codes written in App_Code/WebService.vb file that is generated in VS.I know some basics of ASP.NET ,VB.NET and C#.NET.
I need a book or two to get a good understanding of web services, starting from very basics, and going upto WCF. I've been using c# for 2 years and have intermediate level of experience with the language.
I have written some web services that I want to make available to others by subscription. The subscribers need to use the service from a specific domain / IP address and also authenticate with a user Id and password.
What exactly should I distribute to the subscriber so they can use the services, while exposing the least about my code?How can authenticate a consumer of services without always passing an Id / password for each service?
I learned from internet that webservices can be invoked only by HTTP whereas WCF can be invoked by HTTP,TCP,et., can i know the difference between them
I've created Web Services in .Net 3.5 & Consumed those Web Services in a Client Web Application. Now i want to Host the WebService in IIS 5.1. I'm very new to .net, I'm using VS 2010, Wndows XP Service Pack 3, IIS 5.1;
I have a wcf dataservice that talks to a silverlight client and a wcf service library that talks to a chat client.How can i get the two services to talk to each other?
ExchangeServiceBinding binding = new ExchangeServiceBinding(); binding.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password); binding.Url = "http://servername/ews/exchange.asmx";
The above web services throws Unauthorized Access Error (Error : 401) for newly created users.I would like to know how to impersonate this user for accessing this exchange web services.
What is the right approach when users (authenticated domain admins) should be able to start batch jobs (usually exe files) from an IIS (7.x) aspx (c#) page? This is an intranet site. The batch jobs have to run on the web server as Domain Admins. The website pool is executed by network service or some similar restricted account in AD.
Approaches I can think of (and their disadvantages): 1. Start exe file with System.Diagnostics.Process.Start with another account. This feature is disabled in IIS 7.x, how do I allow it?
2. Create a sheduled task and call scheduled task-api. This unmanaged dll is giving VS compiler warnings because it's unsafe to call from managed code.
3. I suppose there's a better approach, because the previous suggestions doesn't appear safe or robust.
