RE: WSH, WMI scripts

[Sreenivas Tatti]

Hi Mike,
You could have understood my requirement. I am looking at WINE to get
this thing done. If not supported in WINE, then what other possible way,
I can achieve this. I have to do some windows registry modifications and
start/stop/query about windows services from a Linux box.
I have to remotely install my agent on a windows box. That is my goal.
Thanks in anticipation.
With regards,
Sreenivas

It's unlikely to work, as DCOM (OLE over the network) does not work, and

Wine currently has no builtin support for WSH/WMI.

It is absolutely unrelated to wine and completely off topic but since you
asked why don't you install cygwin to the remote machines and do the
staff you want to do with ssh and some local scripting. I mean if
you can do it from a dos prompt, ok a cmd prompt, then you have to be
able to do it with a ssh connection remotely and in a secure manner too.
