RE: Turning off a Monitor Remotely

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback.

During my discussion with the WMI developers, we also involved two kernel
power management team program managers. They are inviting you to describe
your background scenario -- why do you want to turn the monitor on/off
remotely? This will help them to identify gaps in current feature and
planning for the next release(s).

Regarding our workaround of using WM_SYSCOMMAND + Win32_Process.Create, it
should work for Win2003, because I have written a test app which works well
for my Win2003 system. The only problem for Vista is that it may get
launched in session 0 (services session) on Vista, which won't be able to
send a Window message. If you met this problem on Vista, please feel free
to tell me, we can work further to resolve it.

We have the approach to launch the remote process in interactive session
instead of session 0. For example, the very useful sysinternals Psexec.exe
tool has the options to launch an application on remote machine. Also, it
has an "-i" option to launch the remote process in interactive console
session:

Please feel free to tell me know your further concern, thanks.

Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan
