DOCUMENT:Q198716 02-MAY-1999 [sms] TITLE :SMS: Server Side Remote Control Components Maintain SMS Security PRODUCT :Microsoft Systems Management Server PROD/VER:winnt:2.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbsms200 ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Systems Management Server version 2.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= The components required by the server to run Systems Management Server (SMS) Remote Control are stored in the \SMS\BIN\ directory. The required files are: REMOTE.EXE MULTPROT.DLL LDFTRANS.DLL LDWMNT.DLL These files are installed during the Systems Management Server Administrator Snap-In install (this happens automatically on site servers). Remote.exe, although usually run from within the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Systems Management Server Administrator Snap-In, it can also be run from a command line. The MMC must be present on that machine because the Remote Tools relies on Windows Management (WMI) to access the Systems Management Server database in SQL. WMI is used to call the database to confirm the client's valid network address or NetBIOS name which prevents it from being used as a stand alone tool, thus preserving the Systems Management Server Security model.
