Running a .NET .EXE across servers

[Kevin Thomas]

Hi.
I have a .net .exe that sits on SERVER-B. From SERVER-A I want to go to
start-run and type:

\\SERVER-B\myapp.exe

I have a vague understanding that .NET has some built in security to keep
this from happening, so that by default apps can't be called across servers.
Does anybody know where I go to tell .NET to allow this?

Thanks,

Kevin

The apps can run alright, but in a more restricted environment than
assemblies loaded from the local machine. That can prevent you from
doing certain things.

Does anybody know where I go to tell .NET to allow this?

The Microsoft .NET Framework Configuration MMC snap-in lets you modify
security policy.

Mattias and Hector,

Thanks for the info,

Although this article is not about Security, page 4 gives
a brief idea of what you need to do in order to
trust .NET programas from other locations:
