Get List of COM+ services running on remote servers?

Question

How I can get list COM+ services running on remote servers? and how to set identity to com+ server remotely.

Answer 1

You can use the COM+ Administration API to accomplish this. It allows you to administer services in the local or remote catalog. See this article for guidance on how to get and set properties. Here's a simple example written in C#. You will add a reference to the COM + 1.0 Admin Type Library

using COMAdmin;

COMAdminCatalogCollection applications;
COMAdminCatalog catalog;

catalog = new COMAdminCatalog();
// To connect to a remote server you would user the following
catalog.Connect(serverName); 

applications = (COMAdminCatalogCollection)catalog.GetCollection("Applications");
            applications.Populate();

foreach (COMAdminCatalogObject application in applications)
{
    //do something with the application
    if (application.Name.Equals("MyAppName"))
    {
        application.Value["Identity"] = @"MACHINE\UserName";
        application.Value["Password"] = @"UserPassword";
    }

}
