DameWare Mini Remote Control vs Wine

[Tom Hibbert]

Hi guys,

 

I'm running DameWare Mini Remote Control under Wine here. This is a
pretty cool setup as some of our clients

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.

 

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.

 

Unfortunately wine's RPC implementation doesn't seem to go far enough
for this to work. I've tried loading dlls natively

(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.

 

Maybe one of you RPC gurus would like to take a look at it.
