 * Microsoft SQL Server for OS/2, version 4.2

You can administer a server from a remote location with a LAN Manager version 2.2 based network. To do this, you must first perform the following commands on the machine you want to remotely administer:

'''net share ipc$

net share admin$'''

You can put these commands in the STARTUP.CMD file so they are executed at each reboot.

If your LAN Manager server is running user-level security, you do not need to explicitly share these services, but you do need to be a user with both remote admin privileges and access to the server's named pipes (IPC$).

After ensuring that this is done, you can remotely administer the server using the following command:

"net admin \\servername"

This will bring up a full-screen interface with which to administer the server. This is the same interface you have when you enter &quot;net admin&quot; to administer the local machine.

The following command can be used to start a service:

"net admin \\servername /command net start sqlserver"

You can also start Microsoft SQL Server for OS/2 directly from the LAN Manager 2.2 full-screen administrator facility, or from SQL Administrator for Windows.

Note that this can even be done over dial-in lines using LAN Manager 2.2's Remote Access Services (RAS).
