I am writing a test application that is controlling another computer through a test computer RS-232 port through a command String has been started (from a control computer running Windows XP SP2 using a C # application), at that time the test computer will be power-on and boot Windows XP. I would like to know what will be the best way to determine when the computer has completed this boot process and is running normally.
I was thinking of the following:
1) I was either thinking of pinging the computer or 2) be a shared drive and if able to reach that shared drive , Or 3) writing a small service that I can communicate with
different / better approach?
I had the exact problem you made, I found a custom service writing was most useful It is important to know that when a headless machine creates a remote desktop service to accept the connection, the program I wrote that actually the PC speaker beeps a bit while it is ready for logging.
Edit: I have dug up the source, Jah You are interested.
