Understood.... I wasn't looking for anything above and beyond the call of a 50pt question really. &nbsp;Just what to look at was really all I needed...<br />
<br />
<br />
Does everyone else concur that these would be the &quot;proper&quot; way of handling this sort of thing? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thanks Jhance.<br />

Does everyone else concur that these would be the "proper" way of handling this sort of thing?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
What I need to do is the following...<br />
<br />
Server1 has an SQL db to which requests are submitted into a queue.<br />
<br />
Server2 has the .exe's that are to be executed.<br />
<br />
The client submits a request to server1 to have 1.exe and 2.exe run with some parameters.<br />
<br />
I want server1 to launch 1.exe to run in server2's process space. &nbsp;What is the proper and approved way to do this? &nbsp;I know I could whip up a little service that would run on server2 and wait for requests to run .exe files, but that doesn't seem like a clean way to me. &nbsp;What is the proper way to do this? &nbsp;Effectively I don't want server1 to be running any of these .exe files. &nbsp;(the .exe files are reports that are processor intensive and they fight with sqlservr for processor time).<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Launching an app in another server's process space...

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
