BEE4LAN Instructions

2016 by Flintstone neotramp@gmail.com

Bee4lan application is intended as a tool for network administrators, who manage LANs with client computers running Windows. An pplication needs only Python, samba network share and a computer. This computer could be a server running Linux (best option), a client windows machine, or admin’s own computer at home.

Bee4lan management system is based on Python 2.7.11 and its extension pywin32. Use python-2.7.11.msi pywin32-220.win32-py2.7.exe if you want have the original environment. All this stuff you can find at this installation CD.

Any comments are welcome!

Bee4lan installation to SERVER:

  • simply copy bee4lan folder to your fileserver.
  • do it first

Bee4lan installation to a CLIENT:

  • IMPORTANT!!! Set correct paths especially in these files on server:

    bee4lan\install\bee4lan_svc.py bee4lan\core.py setup_svc.bat

  • Now go to your client computer. Manually connect your intended server share, open administrators command prompt, services.msc and eventvwr.

  • run this batchfile on server:

    setup_svc.bat

If something went wrong, here is what you have to do manually:

  1. Set correct paths especially in these files on server:

    bee4lan\install\bee4lan_svc.py bee4lan\core.py setup_svc.bat

  2. Join manually your client PC to server share, and ensure that you can reach bee4lan files on server from your admin's command prompt.

  3. Install Python 2.7.11 or 2.7.10

  4. Install adequate version of extension pywin32

  5. register pythonservice.exe:

    C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\win32\pythonservice.exe /register

  6. Install bee4lan service:

    up.bat

  7. Run hostinfo script:

    runHostinfo.bat

  8. Check services.msc and eventvwr(see applications). If no errors have been raised, now you can control your computer from server. Reboot client manually and check again if everything is ok. That's all!

Bee4lan uninstallation from CLIENT:

  • stop bee4lan service

  • uninstall it

  • remove all files from bee4lan from the path:

    C:\Program Files\bee4lan

  • or use

    uninstall_svc.bat

Bee4lan uninstallation from SERVER:
