netsh help

edited April 2008 in Help / Advice Forum
I'm just getting started with the netsh command. I'd like to be able to force a flush of IIS log files. I can do this on the local machine with 'netsh http flush logbuffer', but I'd like to be able to run it on a remote machine, referenced by IP address. Is that possible, and if so, what do I need to do to make that happen?

    What OS is running on all your target machines, and server, if any?

    Can you not force the command out with group policy then? Lemme dig around and see if I can see it in the settings on my machine.

    I'm very much dev and very little IT, so I don't know how this stuff works.

    Oh, well, basically, you've got your server, and you make it the controller (obviously) and you create a domain. The other pc's then join that domain and log on, and you put them into a group with group policy, in the admin tool pack. You then go into the group policy settings and from there you can make the slaves do just about anything, from renaming directories and passwords to installing updates and software
