MSInfo32 - Ron Crumbaker's Web Remote Console 3.21

I thought someone else had blogged this... but now I can't find it.  If someone else has this blogged, just remind me.

If you want to add an msinfo32 button, add this to your machrest.asp by your other buttons (near the top):

<INPUT id="Button728" style="WIDTH: 151px" type="button" value="MS Info" span class="tooltip" title="MSinfo32" name='Btnl728'>

and near the bottom, by your other sub/end sub routines, this:

Sub Btnl728_OnClick
 on error resume next
 Set WShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
 CompName = Trim(document.frmMain.txtValue.value)

Set objSWbemServices = GetObject("winmgmts:" &_     
 "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" &_     
 CompName & "\root\cimv2")
if err.number <> 0 then
 msgbox "Unable to access WMI on " & CompName & vbcr &_
               "Error: " & err.description,,"MSInfo32"
Else
 WShell.Run  "msinfo32.exe /Categories +SystemSummary /Computer " & CompName,1,False
End if
End Sub

SMS/ConfigMgr Remote Assistance - Ron Crumbaker Web Remote Console 3.21

I was setting up the Web Remote Console in a server08 lab, and noticed something--Server08 (and I'm assuming, Vista) Remote Assistance doesn't use the old XP method of HelpCtr.  So I've updated the button for Remote Assistance.  I've only tested this when you are running the IE page from Server08, but I presume it'll work from Vista as well.  In Server08, you do have to install the Remote Assistance Feature if you haven't already.

This builds on / replaces the former blog entry, so check that one for some additional details about the smsunsolicitedra.htm

Server 2008 refresh AD group membership without reboot

Torsten Meringer mentioned this in a posting.  Since it's something I've found irritating in the past, I'm blogging this just so I know where to find it in the future.  For Windows Server 2008, a method to have that server refresh it's AD Group membership without a reboot.  Neat stuff.
