      Need to add an environment Variable to a device.. I've added it to another device that I was able to connect to. however, currently banging my head against the desk because of a Window 7 machine that doesn't have Ultra VNC (or any VNC for that matter) installed on it - meaning I can't connect to it..

      Anyone know how to connect to the terminal via CMD so I can install VNC? Or update the environment variables remotely through CMD?

      I can ping and path over the network to it.

      Both devices are Windows 7.. Is it possible or will I need to schedule an on site?

      The issue is the terminal running our POS software - after it runs the End of day and closes out the day just pushes it to the desktop instead of restarting and bring back up the software - it's missing "AUTOEXIT=TRUE" in the environment variables - known issue and easy enough to fix but, refer to the above.

        You might be able to powershell to it - but that seems unlikely, assuming Windows 7 is in the default setup with firewall enabled.

        then you could run powershell commands to it.

          how would I be able to do that? or even check if it's possible?

              Thanks !

              Looks like going on site is still required because I have no idea if IIS is already installed - my guess is it isn't.

              oh well, good information to have if I ever need it in the future.

                Yeah, if you're going on site - skip all this and just put on VNC.

                  my thoughts exactly, But I figured if there was a way to do this without having to go on site, it would make it so much easier.
                  guess I can mark this as solved.
