Title: Control all Windows computers at same time from One PC?
Post by: blazin8s on December 09, 2013, 09:40:04 PM
Is there a way to do this?  I want to be able to issue commands, install software, copy files, etc to all the mining rigs at once from a single computer.  

I know I can do this with Linux and I plan to migrate very soon, but for now they are all on windows 8.

They are all hooked up to the same network.

Active Directory?

If you just want a way to use the same mouse and keyboard, Synergy can do that for you (software KVM), otherwise you'll probably need some for of AD and Powershell scripts or similar to issue commands. Linux is much better for this kind of thing, since you can just use SSH.

I plan to move to linux soon.  I was just curious if there was something I could do in the mean time.  I have them hooked up to a KVM switch.

But basically I want all the machines to mirrior one machine.  So whatever I tell the one machine to do, the others will follow suit without having to do them individually.

I guess you could do some quick hackish setup with netcat and a shell script but if one of the machines goes out of sync you might mess things up.
