how to launch netmeeting on a remote PC?

[Icam Lille]

Hy,
I'd like to use netmeeting in background of Labview 6i running on Windows XP.
To do so, I'm actually using the "automation open" function wired to the "refnum automation" of Netmeeting. Netmeeting can be opened on the local machine without specifying any address but I can't succeed in launching it on a remote PC, even when wiring the remote PC address in the "automation open" box. Why is it so?
Is it possible this way or has somebody got another idea on how to launch a program on a remote PC using its activeX?
Thanks for your help
Arnaud

Hi,
This is not supported by NI, but your problem probably comes from your DCOM configuration on the remote PC. Maybe NetMeeting do not supports a remote launch.
Go to the Start menu -> Run -> dcomcnfg
In the services & components part, select the NetMeeting one. Right click on it and select properties.
In the Security tab, add rights to the control PC.
In the Identity tab; select Interactive User.
Hope this help.
