Re: Windows Remote Desktop In Perl

RDC uses a proprietary full GUI terminal protocal RDP that is completely incompatible with Telnet, SSH and similar which are text-only protocols.

You would have to use the application programming interface. Roku::RCP seems to be related, but I know nothing more about it.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Re^2: Windows Remote Desktop In Perl by Anonymous Monk on Jan 08, 2010 at 09:01 UTC
Hello Corion, actually we are using Remote Desktop Connection (i.e. Terminal Server Client) for years. Its really a heck to login and then run scripts in many servers (Its damn slower with GUI). That's why we require a alternate in Perl, so that everything can be done Command Line. So we even tried PsExec.exe which is a windows command line utility for RDC but it shows a lot of error when trying to connect. Is there a way to do all these jobs command line??? Please help me out monks.....	[reply]

If you have the appropriate permissions, you can for example use WMI to launch remote processes. But you have not really been forthcoming in your requirements, and your question is about Remote Desktop, not "ways to launch a program on a remote machine".	[reply]
