Possible to do remotely?

[Sasstraliss]

This is a script for opening CD drives, is this possible to do remotely?

Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7")
Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection
do
if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then
For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1
colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject
Next
For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1
colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject
Next
End If
wscript.sleep 5000
loop

Thanks.

Added as part of a login script, yes. Also using remote tools such as PSEXEC.

Another method would be to execute the script remotely if it already exists locally on the remote system.

Normally you would utilize WMI to perform remote tasks, however the Win32_CDROMDrive class does not have a method for Eject.

Some alternate code for doing this can also be found in my login script FAQ under the April Fools add-in.

I hope you find this post helpful.
