ArmAtechSquad Dedicated Server Tool
Introduction
This is a tool to help you manage your Armed Assault Server.
I created this as I thought it might help some people to contribute some of there servers for the Armed Assault Community.
What can it Do

- Close Server - Kill the ArmA.exe.

Error Solutions
Cant run application from the site
Click run in windows start menu and type
rundll32.exe dfshim.dll,ShOpenVerbApplication http://armatechsquad.com/Dedicated%20Server%20ArmA.application
Laggy under server 2003
I had to exclude arma.exe in the DEP settings of Windows...
We are running with Windows 2003 Server, but the setting is the same for XP aswell
Check this site, it contains info about DEP, and how to exclude processes!
