Remote admin app in C#

[Zedicus]

cool utility i wrote in C# for those of you that work on computers for a living, or side work. it is written in C# and the source is available as a Visual Studio project. it uses WMI to administer functions on the remote computer, (it will also work on the local machine) and since it uses WMI instead of REG entrys it can remove software that sometimes windows add and remove will fail to clean off properly.

feel free to grab the source if you dabble in programing. i am looking for features to add and code improvement.

not really a 'bump' but this application now supports workgroup and remote credentials so it will be useful on home and small business networks. also we are adding import/export options so this will become an inventory management suite too.

I get this trying to connect "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

what OS are you connecting too? are you using local or remote credentials? on the error windows can you click details and post the full error?

Either way NullReferenceExceptions need to be handled ... just sayin'

Windows 10 using domain controller credentials

can you either post the full error from the window or screenshot it with the error open or something so i can try to recreate the problem.
thanks

if the IP address that you are trying to connect is the IP address of the machine that is running the program than you CANNOT change the username and password. (please leave those fields blank.)
on a domain that you have access too, it will automatically pass the username and password of the person running the app if the username and password fields are BLANK.

That is another IP on the same network/domain. NOT the machine that is running the program

can you try it again and leave the user and password fields blank?
