<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I’m running DameWare Mini Remote Control under Wine
here. This is a pretty cool setup as some of our clients</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>have no windows servers (only linux), and the idea is that
we can VNC to a Linux firewall or file server and then use DameWare through
Wine to take control of PCs that we need to remotely administer.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>DameWare has a handy function to actually install the service
on a remote box using RPC. Just by looking at the debug logs, what it does is
create a temporary share on the machine its running from and then connect to
the remote box’s admin$ share where it (presumably) executes the
installer.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Unfortunately wine’s RPC implementation doesn’t seem
to go far enough for this to work. I’ve tried loading dlls natively</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>(going all the way up to advapi32) and I get ever increasing
errors. Mainly its complaining about missing implementations for (presumably)
rarely used rpc functions.</span></font></p>
