I'm taking java programming classes now so I'm asking this now so that
I know where to focus my additional java programming skills. My goal
is write routines to help lan admins do quickly network
troubleshooting routines. The problem I have is that our different
depts configure their win2k pro, winxp pro, nt servers, and who knows
what other OS, with varying degrees of security lockdown. I remember
sites where I didn't have access to command prompt. So os
configurations cover the full spectrum of possibilities.
So here is my idea and what i need to know is if it makes sense.
I create java program with routines that queries the nic card
settings, pings and traceroutes, (I know, this has all been done
before), and place them on a CD copies and distribute to Lan Admins.
Now because of the diversity of the platform setups, I cannot
guarantee that java is on the desktop/server. Do I also put a copy of
SDK on the CD? Most lan admins won't allow uploading java onto the
desktops if the desktop didn't already have it. So how do I make sure
that application can run from the sdk on the CD?
Thanks
