Windows Server CP?

[Yvgeniy]

I'm completely new to this and the Wiki didn't really seem to help in this aspect, but I do have a question about NWNX's capability as far as a control panel goes. Maybe I'm just not understanding this correctly, but is it possible to setup a server control panel on Windows that would be accessible to those that know the login information via the web for instance?

Here's an example of what I'm talking about: http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/8499/webusercpzi0.jpg

This is a server running on a Linux machine that has a web control panel available for it into which I can login by simply typing in a certain URL and entering a certain username and password. Once I'm in I have a list of admin capabilities that I can execute via the Command box (and the command list is available through the command list link). The commands available are as follows:

status
clientinfo <player>
kick <player>
listbans
banip <ip address>
bankey <key>
banname <player name>
unbanip <ip address>
unbankey <key>
unbanname <player name>
save <slot#> <name>
forcesave <slot#> <name>
saveandexit <slot#> <name>
module <module name>
load <slot#>
say <message>
maxclients <number of clients>
minlevel <minumum level>
maxlevel <maximum level>
pauseandplay <0/1>
elc <0/1>
ilr <0/1>
oneparty <0/1>
difficulty <level>
autosaveinterval <time>
playerpassword <password>
dmpassword <password>
adminpassword <password>
servername <name>

As far as I recall this was a client released by BioWare a long time ago for Linux (I don't really remember anymore to be honest, so don't quote me on that), and this is the features that came with it. On top of that, and this is definitely an extra feature, but adding "/logs" to the main URL also gave me access to the server logs. Quite a handy feature I must say.

Anyway, so being a complete moron and not knowing anything here, would I be able to setup something of the sort on Windows? And if so, how would I go about doing it?

The answer is a clear NO. ( at least I don't know a way)

The above description is of the Linux version of the program nwserver.exe.
The windows version of this program has some but not all of the features.
And the windows version works only with a GUI.


So if you want to setup something similar with a windows server is a way to do this:
1. Access to the desktop of your server with a tool like RDP.
( http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/Win2KTS/evaluate/featfunc/rdpfperf.mspx )

2. Now can you access the desktop of your server and can setup a NWN2 server similar to a local one.


This means all that knows the login can access the server via Internet.
and can maintain it.
( Restarting NWN server software, have a look into the server logs, ... )
