Remote Execution of Windows GUI


Remote Execution of Windows GUI J. Whitehurst

dotnet distributed apps: I am currently trying to find a way to remotely execute an application such
that the GUI will actually show up (and be interactive?) on the remote host.

Simple example: have computer1 tell computer2 to execute calc.exe, such that
the calculator actually does show up for the currently logged in user of
computer2.

Is this possible?

Currently, we are ssh'ing over to the other machine and executing 'calc'.
The process is running on that remote machine, but there is no GUI.

Are we out of luck? =(

Terminal Services. Don't reinvent the wheel =)

Oh. Hrm, I thought terminal services was to allow terminals to run an
application on another system, but bring the GUI back to the terminal.

CompA -> runs app on CompB, with gui appearing on CompA.

I want...
